RE: LPRng: short request line
Does OS X print in PostScript? Is the LJ1100 PostScript-Aware? Jim -Original Message- From: Jim McCloskey [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, July 16, 2004 12:51 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: LPRng: short request line Hello. I have a Debian linux box which runs LPRng version 3.8.27 as its printer spooler. It functions as a firewall/router for a home network. I set up /etc/hosts.lpd and /etc/lprng/lpd.perms so that this box will handle print-requests from the laptops that are also part of the home network (the printer is an HP LJ1100 connected to the parallel port of the Debian box). This all works great from my own laptop, which also runs Debian (and has the same version of LPRng). But there is also an OS X laptop in the house, and print requests from that machine are refused. The resulting message in /var/log/lpr.log is: Service_connection: short request line '^B', from '192.168.1.101 port 836' I haven't had much luck so far in tracking down what this error message means or what lies behind it, though I assume that whatever lies behind it is what is causing print-requests from the OS X machine to be refused. Does anyone know how this problem might be solved? I'd be very grateful indeed for any help or pointers.

LPRng: RE: SLOW spooling of Word file containing 225 pgs of scanned docs - SOLVED
Mumbles to self...RTFM...and Michael Lucas' Absolute OpenBSD... and MS KB816627..and the LPRng list responses... Eventually it will all sink in, and the answer will reveal itself: #sysctl -w net.inet.tcp.ackonpush=1 Extracted from KB816627: SYMPTOMS Printing to a TCP/IP printer port may be slow if you are using the LPR Byte Counting feature or if the advanced TCP/IP options are disabled on the printer. A network trace may show that for every three packets that are sent, there is a Delayed Ack before the print device sends an acknowledgement. If the Delayed Ack value is set to 0.2 seconds, a 10-MB print job may take approximately 10 minutes. CAUSE The buffer size for reading spooled files is only 4 KB for the Windows print processor and for TCP/IP Port Monitor. This causes 2 packets with 1,460 KB of data, followed by another packet with 1,176 KB of data with the TCP Push bit flag enabled. If the print device ignores the TCP Push bit flag, a Delayed Ack is typically generated while waiting for another packet. The Delayed Ack value frequently uses a value of 0.2 seconds. A Delayed Ack should not occur if the packet TCP Push bit flag is enabled. My OpenBSD 3.2 3.4 servers had the ackonpush off by default. Enabling it apparently eliminates the Delayed Ack being generated. Thanks to Rick Cochran, Patrick, Michael W. Lucas, Microsoft, and the OpenBSD folks for supplying all of the pieces of the puzzle. I put this problem on the back burner a while back, for lack of a solution. The book, especially the section on sysctl provided the final pointer. It's dead simple now that I know it-but if you Google ackonpush you get nothing of value... As for Microsoft; there are big, screaming clues in the KB article, and they made no sense until just this morning. Now they make perfect sense.

This gives me a sort of sinking feeling... we just went and replaced a number of Xerox Phaser 5400 printers with Lanier LD045/LD060 copiers and Lanier 2145 printers (rebranded Ricoh Aficio 1045/1060 and AP4510 products). From what I've seen, the paper-handling mechanism is pretty solid in these units. The network interface didn't seem to be any worse than other printers we've dealt with so far. I wouldn't be too concerned just yet. If the clients are Windows PCs, just install the RPCS drivers as the primary (only?) driver. Avoid printing from the clients directly to the printer, which sounds like what you're planning anyway. (Large Word files containing 225 pgs of scanned docs should be sent using the RPCS driver and raw/9100 port on the printer. Trust me...) My problems all went away when I went to this setup. The only time I use the PS3 drivers are to print to file, then use GhostScript/GSView to convert to .pdf. Works great! My nightmare days were the early ones, when I was testing drivers, and printing from the clients directly to the printer. The PS3 v1.0 drivers did something that corrupted the queue information, and shortly after that the printer would stop accepting jobs. If you use the Smart Monitor, and watch the Job History, you'll see patterns to the driver/port combinations. When info for previously printed jobs disappear, leaving only the date/time, the printer is on it's way to la-la land, and needs to be reset. In the Properties, Print Preferences, Printer Configuration you'll find the User ID: entry. Use it-many entries in the Job History seem to have this and the date/time as the only info. The raw/9100 jobs are this way... I use the following setup, which works fine for all but the big jobs: Win2k/XP: RPCS v 2.67 (2.24, 2.58 were ok) Local TCP/IP Port, Custom, LPR w/ByteCount enabled (LPRng%9100 doesn't work, 9100 not forwarded via pf) LPRng 2.2x on OpenBSD 3.x Printing to LPRng; [EMAIL PROTECTED] or lanier%9100 works okay, but: User Name and Document Name info is missing in the Job History entry for jobs printed by LPRng via lanier%9100. Everything is present using [EMAIL PROTECTED] It appears the slow printing is a TCP problem, not with the printer. See previous msgs in this thread for Rick Cochran's comments. Printing via samba isn't an avenue I'm willing to go down anymore, unless someone can tell me how to get something other than Remote Downlevel Document as the document name. I've tried a couple of the filters in smb.conf, but the spool file name is what ends up being displayed (smbprn.yadayada). IMHO, simpler is better; if I'm using LPRng only, and samba crashes, printing continues, and I can sort out samba without being rushed. Anyway, it didn't seem to speed up the Word doc when I tested printing via samba... Jim P.S. I apologize for the subject gaining/losing random spaces. Our Corp IS are running Antigen, and it seems to be the culprit. We also just installed a Lanier LP 020c color printer...no such delays with. Everything we print goes to a RedHat 9/LPRng print server, which processes jobs and sends them out to the appropriate printer using port 9100/appsocket. (Our Tektronix Phaser 850DP met an early demise when some well-meaning users tried to unjam the printer and proceeded to break one of the paper-path sensors.) Damn Users! I have one well meaning user that tore up the Tray 3 on the Lanier, then proceeded to jam it back into the slot...took me 45 minutes to get it out, and another 20 to fix it. Another one...we could go on all day! We do all our printer status and pagecounts via SNMP. I've all but given up on doing it any other way. Jobs go off to the printers, they print, then we do

My lpd.conf is all defaults on both OpenBSD boxes. All other print jobs seem to print at full speed. What gives? Hi, When creating large/complicated print jobs (i.e. including bitmap graphics) there may be long time intervalls between data packets sent from PC to the server, timeouts can happen. To avoid these timeouts create the entire print job first before connecting to the print server. In the printer properties go into the spool settings and turn Start spooling after last page is finished on. The exact text may vary, I have a german Windows on my PC. I tried that, and Print directly to the Printer with the same results. Make sure the format for the queue is literal (binary) so the print server does not run filters on the print job. No filtering is being done, and the Print Processor is set to raw on the Win2k box. If these hints do not help we need to find out whether the problem is related to transfering the print job from the PC to the server or to sending from server to printer. It's from the Win2k PC to the server; it never finished spooling, so it never went to the printer. Sending it directly to the printer's own lpd, with the PC set to the default of Start Printing Immediately did exactly that. The only changes in settings were using raw protocol instead of lpr, and printing to port 9100 instead of the queue. The 2138 has a hard drive, and printed at full speed-no dribbling of the job. Why not just print directly to the printer? Because...the Ricoh/Lanier print server has an annoying tendency to go off into la-la land if multiple users/drivers are talking to it. I can crash it just by sending a PS job to it; within 4 print jobs, the queue is corrupt and the printer has to be reset. Sometimes I had to reformat the hard drive just to force a rebuild of the queue structure. I finally troubleshot it down to a decent solution; use ONLY the RPCS drivers, and use LPRng to feed it the jobs. Now it prints all day, every day. I can use holdall while changing out fuser oil rollers, etc, and noone knows the printer's been down. I call the 2138 The Chipper; feed trees in at one end, and stuff comes out the other... Print the print job to a file, transfer the file to the print server and try to print using lpr.

I didn't test useing P1 instead of L1(logical port 1) for the print queue name, but Im pretty sure that is not the problem. I believe the problem is that the Linksys print servers are complete pieces of SH*T! I put an Intel NetExpressPro print server in one of the Linksys' place and it works with no problems. In fact where, with the Linksys, when I spool 6 small jobs(printcap file with 8 entries) one right after the other, they stack up in LPRng's spool and then hang that print queue...with the Intel the jobs don't hang around in the queue long enough to be detected by lpc or lpqthey get fired off to the Intel unit and print out with no problems. It would be interesting to know how this Linksys device could cause the LPRng queue to stall.anyone? Cheers, shawn If the printer is attached to P1 (the physical printer port, and you're trying to send the print jobs to a different port (L1), LPRng is going to hang the jobs-you're never going to see them print. The Windows PCs are sending the jobs to the correct port; that's why they can print while LPRng isn't. What model Linksys Print Server is it?

Jim Hi Jim, Thanks for reading my post. I was beginning to wonder if my question was covered somewhere obvious that I must have overlooked a dozen times trying to figure this one out. I didn't test useing P1 instead of L1(logical port 1) for the print queue name, but Im pretty sure that is not the problem. I believe the problem is that the Linksys print servers are complete pieces of SH*T! I put an Intel NetExpressPro print server in one of the Linksys' place and it works with no problems. In fact where, with the Linksys, when I spool 6 small jobs(printcap file with 8 entries) one right after the other, they stack up in LPRng's spool and then hang that print queue...with the Intel the jobs don't hang around in the queue long enough to be detected by lpc or lpqthey get fired off to the Intel unit and print out with no problems. It would be interesting to know how this Linksys device could cause the LPRng queue to stall.anyone? Cheers, shawn Shawn, I'm not sure if this info was included with your printserver; it's from http://www.linksys.com/support/support.asp?spid=18 and applies to the EPSX3 mainly, with comments re: the PPSX1 included. You're right to use L1, not P1. Sorry 'bout that! Try modifying your printcap entry to this and see what happens: :rm=SEA-PS-24 :rp=L1 Maybe with the socket support? :rm=SEA-PS-24 :rp=4010 or :lp=SEA-PS-24%4010 -- TCP/IP Setup for Linux Unix -- Note that the examples below should not be used verbatim, as your system's configuration will certainly be different from ours.

(From the office.support.xerox.com link for Sun Solaris 2.5.x LPD setup) There are four valid remote printer names for a printer that supports internal TCP/IP: PS, HPGL, PCL, and AUTO. There are three valid remote printer names for the Tektronix 4511A Network Interface: PS, HPGL, and TEXT. (From the office.support.xerox.com link for Win2k LPR port setup) In the field labeled Name or address of server providing LPD, enter the printer's TCP/IP address. If DNS is configured, type in the DNS host name. In the field labeled Name of printer or print queue on that server, one of the following needs to be entered. Queue names: AUTO - Use when a variety of jobs will be sent to the printer (including both PCL and PostScript). PS - Use if the printer will only be sent PostScript jobs. PCL - Use if the printer will only be sent PCL jobs. RAW - Use if printing text files from UNIX workstations. Note: These are recommended names to use. Some printers are less particular about the queue names, or will default to AUTO if the name is invalid.

Did you upgrade the server OS or LPRng? If you upgraded the OS, the LPRng executables were probably overwritten by the upgrade. Rename the stock lp executables and re-create the symbolic links to the LPRng files, and you're back in business. On my OpenBSD 3.x boxen, I've created a file, lppostup to do just that: - cd /usr/bin mv lp lp.org mv lpq lpq.org mv lpr lpr.org mv lprm lprm.org mv lpstat lpstat.org cd /usr/sbin mv lpc lpc.org mv lpd lpd.org mv lpracct lpracct.org ln -s /usr/local/bin/lp /usr/bin/lp ln -s /usr/local/bin/lpq /usr/bin/lpq ln -s /usr/local/bin/lpr /usr/bin/lpr ln -s /usr/local/bin/lprm /usr/bin/lprm ln -s /usr/local/bin/lpstat /usr/bin/lpstat ln -s /usr/local/sbin/lpc /usr/sbin/lpc ln -s /usr/local/sbin/lpd /usr/sbin/lpd ln -s /usr/local/sbin/lpraccnt /usr/sbin/lpraccnt Kill the running lpd. Validate the source/destination dirs on your servers; change the entries in lppostup to the correct ones; set lppostup to executable, and run ./lppostup.

Question: I am not sure what you mean by the Lanier displaying anything. Is there a display on the printer? Is this a network printer that talks to the server? This may be an idiosyncracy of the lanier. Using the SmartnetMonitor's History diplay; alternatively there's a web browser interface that also displays the History . Suggestion: Is there a way to modify the print command in smb.conf so that it mv's the job from samba.xxx to ProperJobName, and then print the job with lpr and forget about the %J parameter? For example, without trying this, I could certainly see putting into the smb.conf print command something like this: mv %s %J lpr %J That sounds like it might work. Other questions: Are you getting the right name when viewed from the windows clients? If lpq is working properly on the server, do you have the correct lpq command in your smb.conf? eg. lpq command = /usr/bin/lpq -PWin4LinZ53 I believe so...oddly, on the Lanier driver, all jobs shown in the Windows status box have 12/31/1969 as the date. The Lanier's History shows the correct info. Does the user printing have permissions to use lpq? I think so-otherwise no info would be displayed? Print jobs can be cancelled (lprm) and the printers paused. Have you specifed which printing system (lprng) you are using in your smb.conf file? BSD is the default, or, at least it was. yes Another suggestion: You might use tcpdump to monitor what is sent back and forth between the server and the clients. I would THINK the server would be sending back the jobname for display, but, I haven't tried this. Joel I had a flash at about 5:30 this morning. The -J/-U in lpr's command line affects the Banner info...which may be different from what's being parsed/sent as the job info? If so, why does the Banner option for the user (-U) change info in the Lanier's History, but the jobname (-J) doesn't? It happens whether I'm sending jobs through Samba or from the command line.

RE: LPRng: RE: How do I get the @#$$% job name to show instead ofsmbprn.yad a.yada?
Good point. I'm not all that happy with the Lanier job processing (aside from the 2138's intermittent trips into la-la land). The only time the Document Name ever shows up is when I send jobs to it via the Samba/LPRng route. The following drivers/ports are in use, but NEVER result in the Document Name being displayed in the History: RPCS (Ricoh's native driver) via LanMan or SmartNet ports PS2/PS3 via LanMan or AdobePS ports -- I just created a printer on the Win2k box using the PS3 driver, through a Standard TCP/IP port; the correct Document Name (Test Page) info shows up... xxx.xxx.xxx.24 port name is lp. Device Type is Ricoh Generic Network Printer But...the PS3 driver (always) screws up the timestamp in the process. The History shows 00/00/00, and the console/web log shows --- instead of YY/MM/DD. This occurs no matter which port I use-LanMan, SmartNet, TCP/IP. It looks to me like the Ricoh/Lanier folks have cobbled the drivers together well enough to ship, but there's still a lot of features to be worked out. I haven't tried the PCL drivers yet...I can hardly wait to see what features will divulge themselves when I do... -Original Message- From: Paul Tykodi [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, January 17, 2003 8:31 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: LPRng: RE: How do I get the @#$$% job name to show instead of smbprn.yad a.yada? Hello Joel and Jim, One question to ask the Lanier folks would be where the print controller of the copier/printer collects the job name from when it processes a job. Your discussion to date has assumed that it is getting the data from the LPD daemon running on the print controller parsing the control file generated by LPRng when the job is transferred through Samba to the printer. It is also possible the accounting function of the copier/printer is reading header information (PostScript or PJL) in each actual received job to find the user instead of the LPRng control file. If this turned out to be true, it would explain why the changes you were testing didn't have any effect at the copier/printer. Just a thought...

Question: I am not sure what you mean by the Lanier displaying anything. Is there a display on the printer? Is this a network printer that talks to the server? This may be an idiosyncracy of the lanier. Suggestion: Is there a way to modify the print command in smb.conf so that it mv's the job from samba.xxx to ProperJobName, and then print the job with lpr and forget about the %J parameter? For example, without trying this, I could certainly see putting into the smb.conf print command something like this: mv %s %J lpr %J Other questions: Are you getting the right name when viewed from the windows clients? If lpq is working properly on the server, do you have the correct lpq command in your smb.conf? eg. lpq command = /usr/bin/lpq -PWin4LinZ53 Does the user printing have permissions to use lpq? Have you specifed which printing system (lprng) you are using in your smb.conf file? BSD is the default, or, at least it was. Another suggestion: You might use tcpdump to monitor what is sent back and forth between the server and the clients. I would THINK the server would be sending back the jobname for display, but, I haven't tried this.

From the above, it holds the smbprn.yada.yada filename from the samba spool directory; not the Win2k-supplied file name. When I look at the LPRng control file for the job in the /var/spool/lpd/2138 subdir, Jwinfilename is in there... but the Lanier History is displaying the smbprn.yada.yada as the filename. Any of these produce the same result; user=machine name (as it should) Document Name=smbprn.yada.yada Normal Print Command: /usr/local/bin/lpr -U%m -P%p -r %s /usr/local/bin/lpr -U%m -J%J -P%p -r %s From scripted section Print Command: /usr/local/bin/lpr -P%p -J$a -U%m %s;\ /usr/local/bin/lpr -P%p -JTest by Jim -U%m %s;\ /usr/local/bin/lpr -P%p -J$a -U%m %s;\ /usr/local/bin/lpr -P%p -J%J -U%m %s;\ /usr/local/bin/lpr -P%p -J%J -U%m %s;\ But according to /tmp/junkJ, $a is the windows file name, not the spool file name. So does the control file in the spool directory. If I send a file to the Lanier from the command line, the file name is always listed as the Document Name. e.g. /usr/local/bin/lpr -P2138 -Jlmhosts /etc/samba/lmhosts /usr/local/bin/lpr -P2138 -Jlmhosts /etc/samba/lmhosts /usr/local/bin/lpr -P2138 -JThis is lmhosts /etc/samba/lmhosts lpq shows the file name as either lmhosts or This is lmhosts, but the Lanier shows it as /etc/samba/lmhosts Maybe I'm off the mark here...and the Lanier is the bozo. I don't think so yet, because it's only displaying what the samba server/LPRng are passing on to it. Or is it? How does it get the smbprn.yada.yada as the filename? LPRng is sending the right info, as far as lpq shows; but it isn't sending the right info to the Lanier, as far as the Doc Name of smbprn.yada.yada shows. What part Samba is playing, I'm not sure yet. It all seems to be working as it should, but I'm not satisfied. Jim
LPRng: heads-up: checkpc vs OpenBSD 3.2 Install mini-FAQ - solution
A heads-up to those thinking of installing/upgrading to
OpenBSD 3.2, and possible issues for other *nixes.
lpd/lpr permissions changed to use the group

Subject: checkpc vs 3.2 mini-FAQ
If I use this snippet from the 3.2 upgrade mini-FAQ, checkpc -f
complains about the rights on /var/spool/lpd as being
770 instead of 700, and changes the rights back to 700...
##
3.1.5: New permissions for lp*
The spool directories used by lpd must now be writable by
group daemon in order for lpr to be able to spool files.
Additionally, the files within the spool directories must
be owned by user and group daemon. This can be accomplished
as follows:
# find /var/spool/output /var/spool/lpd -type d \
-execdir chgrp daemon {} \; -execdir chmod g+rwx {} \;
# find /var/spool/output /var/spool/lpd -type f \
-execdir chown daemon:daemon {} \;
#
So which/what needs to be fixed?
changing spool_dir_perms=000700 in /usr/local/etc/lpd.conf
to spool_dir_perms=000770
fixes it...

RE: LPRng: lprng, lpr not found on make install
Me my fat fingers... mv lpracct...should read lpraccnt I dropped the n Sorry 'bout that. LPRng adds the lpraccnt; the default install of lp doesn't contain one. If no /usr/sbin/lpraccnt exists, it can't be copied; that's a reason you'll get the error with the mv lpraccnt line. Once you've installed lprng and added the symlink, /usr/sbin/lpraccnt will exist (as a symlink to /usr/local/sbin/lpraccnt) I think the error can be ignored, but the typo in the script should be corrected to prevent future problems. If the files exist, ls -la should produce soething like this: samba1# ls -la /usr/sbin/lp* lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel19 May 12 23:41 /usr/sbin/lpc - /usr/local/sbin/lpc lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel19 May 12 23:42 /usr/sbin/lpd - /usr/local/sbin/lpd lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel24 Feb 13 2001 /usr/sbin/lpraccnt - /usr/local/sbin/lpraccnt -r-xr-xr-x 1 root bin8192 May 9 22:52 /usr/sbin/lptest If they look like the lptest entry, then it isn't a symbolic link. something in the script failed to create them.

I installed ifhp 3.5.8, set it to filter the job; no change I uninstalled Samba 2.2.5-Pre, installed 2.2.1a; no change lpr -Php4plus /etc/printcap prints ok; printed job stays in queue after job is done, so it's not samba's fault... - l /var/spool/lpd/hp4plus total 38 drwx-- 2 daemon daemon512 May 22 17:00 ./ drwxr-xr-x 10 rootwheel 512 May 19 11:15 ../ -rw--- 1 daemon daemon 8871 May 22 16:53 acct -rw--- 1 daemon daemon156 May 22 16:50 cfA241samba2.kaman.com -rw--- 1 daemon daemon 13 May 22 12:01 control.pr -rw--- 1 daemon daemon 1131 May 22 16:50 dfA241samba2.kaman.com -rw--- 1 daemon daemon605 May 22 16:50 hfA241 -rw--- 1 daemon daemon 0 May 22 17:10 lock.pr -rw--- 1 daemon daemon328 May 22 16:19 log -rw--- 1 daemon daemon 10604 May 22 16:33 lpq.0 -rw--- 1 daemon daemon 48 May 11 10:14 lpq.1 -rw--- 1 daemon daemon 4632 May 22 16:53 status -rw--- 1 daemon daemon 2621 May 22 17:00 status.pr -rw--- 1 daemon daemon 6 May 22 16:52 unspooler.pr - Is this going to be fixed in 3.8.13, or is there a patch/edit for the changes in lpd_status.c (or wherever it's broken)?

LPRng: LPRng Completed Job Quirks
LPRng 3.8.12 (upgraded first from 3.7.4--3.8.10) OpenBSD 3.1 Samba 2.2.5-pre (upgraded; 2.2.2, 2.2.3a, 2.2.4) Patrick, et al, I just installed LPRng 3.8.12, to see if it would fix a problem I've recently encountered. You mention a fix for stale jobs not being removed-that's sort of what I've been seeing. The last completed job is shown in the Win2k printer status window as Paused. I tried setting default done_jobs=0 (in 3.8.10 and .12), but the last job printed remains in the spool dir. If I lprm -Php4plus -, the job is dequeued and removed. Setting default done_jobs=0 or 1 and default done_jobs_max_age=30 doesn't change anything-the last job printed stays in the queue dir (not removed after 30 seconds). Odd...lpq, lpc, lpstat all report no PRINTABLE jobs, yet Win2k shows the job as Paused; even though it's already been printed. Dequeueing (deleting) the job files clears the job from the Win2k status box. Canceling the job from the Win2k box also clears it. lpstat gives me: --- samba2# lpstat hp4plus Printer: hp4plus@samba2 'HP4Plus by Graphics PC' (dest [EMAIL PROTECTED]) Queue: no printable jobs in queue Server: no server active Status: job 'vansickj@samba2+738' saved at 07:53:52.293 Rank Owner/ID Class Job Files Size Time done vansickj@samba2+738 A 738 smbprn.28.D18204 42322 07:53:34 no entries --- I copied this at 8:06 - 12 1/2 minutes after I printed the job; it's still in the queue dir. lprm -Php4plus 738 dequeued it and removed the files from the dir. What feeds job status to Win2k? Is it lprng--samba--Win2k? Sometimes this is fun, sometimes it's not...I'm sure you know what I mean!
