Subject: LPRng: problem with as/ae in printcap
From: Jerome Alet [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hi there,
from an accounting filter launched with as and/or ae in printcap
file, I'd like to know what is the correct way to access to the
job's datas
I've done some testing, and I used to have the HF environment
variable contain df_name=name_of_data_file, but now I don't have it
anymore and it seems HF now contains an encrypted list of data
files (seperated by Ctrl+A and Ctrl+B characters, instead of a
single one, and in a different HF variable.
I don't remeber having changed anything and the (single) file
printed is the same, so I'd like to know what is the always
correct way to, from an accounting script, access to the job's data
file(s) contents.
thanks in advance for any answer
Jerome Alet
I am making sure that the 'DATAFILES' environment variable that will
contain
the names of the datafiles, relative to the current directory,
i.e. - the spool directory. These will be a whitespace separated
list of files.
This will be in the next release - actually I am just testing
this right now.
Comments:
The :as (accounting start) and :ae (accounting end)
are called BEFORE processing any of the print jobs.
You can assume the following:
CF is the image of the 'Job Ticket' file (Ummm... used to be
called the 'hold file'... :-)
The 'hfdatafiles' is the list of data files to be printed.
These are ^A separated entries, one per 'file to be printed'.
Note that you could have: lpr f1 f1 f1
hfdatafiles=entry for f1^Aentry for f1^Aentry for f1^A
OR you could do: lpr -C3 f1 and have
hfdatafiles=entry for f1, copies = 3^A
It is very confusing :-)
Each entry is a list of key=value pairs, with
'transfername' = use this if no openname
So, you can try the following PERL code:
my $HF = $ENV{CF};
my $entries = {};
my @list = split( \n, $HF );
foreach my $line (@list){
my ($key,$value) = split( '=', $line, 2 );
$entries-{$key} = $value;
}
my $hfdatafiles = $entries-{hfdatafiles};
my $datafiles = [];
@list = split(\001,$hfdatafiles);
foreach my $line (@list){
my @fields = split(\002,$line);
my $info = {};
foreach my $pair (@fields){
my ($key,$value) = split( '=', $line, 2 );
$info-{$key} = $value;
}
push @{$datafiles}, $info;
}
# $datafiles is now an array of hash information. You can get
# a list of the files by doing:
my @files = map { $_-{transfername} } @list;
Ummm... note that this may cause duplicate entries.
For example: lpr f1 f2 f1 f2 will result in (f1, f2, f1, f2)

Subject: LPRng: problem not mentioned in all docs, AFAIK
- serial ports (Cyclades) with DEC vt510 screens
- each vt510 has a parallel printer port connection
- each vt510 has whith them his own printer
- our print system imitates ATT's lp(1) (ab)using
the BSD-lpr, it works now since 6 years
on the production machine with GNU/Linux SuSE 7.3
- installed LPRng 3.7.4 from the SuSE DVD 7.3,
works under parallel and (direct) serial ports
- does'nt work for printers attached on vt510's,
permission denied error on mails (user + tty!)
- workaround, probably not secure and very _BAD_:
on /etc/profile[.local on SuSE 7.3]
we determine the attached port for the vt510's
LPTTY=`tty`
adding now for each type of line/terminal:
chgrp lp ${LPTTY}
all vt510 printers now works as usual
This is a well known problem with many (all?) Linux, *BSD, and other
systems that do dynamic device creation (loadable drivers) and when
the
/dev/XXX device entries are created dynamically.
The problem is that there are no (few?) facilities to cause the
ownership
to be set 'correctly', as it usually defaults to 0600 (owned by
root).
Usually you have to
a) do a modprobe to load the device driver. This is common
when you need a printer:
modprobe lp
Impossible. Static compiled kernel, no modules allowed.
And always the last stable from the 2.4 Linux branch.
b) chown/chmod/chgrp the /dev/xxx entries.
chown lp:lp /dev/lp[0-9]*
Under these conditions I usually modify the /etc/init.d/lprng.sh
startup script and add the entries there.
Similar method works on *BSD systems, using the
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/lprng.sh
startup script and the *BSD module loading methods.
Impossible. Production machine runs 24/7/36[56], nearly 99.999.
Users do login/logout more times a day. Login resets the permissions
on the /dev/ttyC## Cyclades/VT510 lines. Checked!
Do chmod 0660 /dev/ttyC* then chgrp lp /dev/ttyC* say 06:00.
Looks good, login and no printer working.
I suggest adding lp to the user's group:
Password:
lp:lpid:lpgroup:...
user1:user1id:user1group:...
Groups:
user1group:...:user1id,lpid
user2group:...:user2id,lpid
I assume that on open it sets the user and group on the device to
the user's UID and GID?
Probably my solution is the only workaround,
/etc/profile, executed by login with root permission,
is able to change the permission.
IMPORTANT QUESTION:
Where is the limit of checkpc(8) for printcap entries?
Now we have approx 400, due to our simulation of
ATT's lp(1) and his interface, and checkpc -f and
checkpc -f -V (about the 50th entry)
at some point freezes, after 30min Ctrl-C.
With the new machines we will reach 1000 entries.
You can use:
checkpc -P printer
which only does the checks for the specified printer.
Many thanks for your response and time.

Re: LPRng: problem apparently with PJL?
Dave Lovelace wrote: Hi Dave, So it sure looks as though these printers aren't responding to PJL, and so ifhp thinks that it needs to wait retry, endlessly. I don't see anything in the printers' configuration that would address this. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks ... I'm not into HP LJ4, but if it really can't handle PJL, ifhp.conf is probably your place. You mentioned that you tried stopping the PJL querying. What did you already try? First thing: Did you give ifhp an idea of the model to use? For us, it looks like this in the printcap (often found in /etc/printcap): __ sw1|i08pr_sw1|studpr_sw1 :lp=i08pr-sw1.atis-stud.uni-karlsruhe.de%9100 :cm=Studipool HP 8150 DN :ifhp=model=hp8150,status . __ For you ifhp=model=hp4 would be right. Another try would be to disable status-queries in general: ifhp=model=hp4,status@ If it really is a PJL-problem, you can look into ifhp.conf for the following: __ #--- START language setup ## default is to turn everything on ## We assume that we have PostScript, PJL, PCL, and text support ## Text is just PCL without any control sequences ## pjl pcl ps text ___ and change pjl to pjl@. That disables PJL as a valid language. I never tried this, but thats what the options intenionally have been made for, I guess :-)) There are also quite a few options for fine-tuning the query of the printers in ifhp.conf. But it's anyway strange, as the HP4 is considered PJL-capable in the ifhp.conf. [i would wonder why not, because it's probably an invention of HP :-) ] Furthermore, i'm not sure if the concept of LPRng works fine without having any idea of the printers status.

Re: LPRng: Problem with routing scripts
In regard to: LPRng: Problem with routing scripts, Jeremy Baumgartner said...: We want to have multiple input queues which get fed into a single routing queue. Hmmm, we're using a router queue as the front line queue, rather than as a secondary queue. I wonder if that's why you're seeing problems? There are some things you can try: - Have you enabled heavy debugging, and waded through what gets logged? - Have you verified that sending jobs directly to the cae-170-gang works? - Is the cae-170-router queue up and enabled? - Does checkpc report any problems? - Some of the settings in your .common entry are off the beaten path. Have you tried it with a stripped down .common entry? - What does lpc printcap cae-170-router report? Is it successfully reporting the printcap settings you would expect?

Re: LPRng: Problem with routing scripts
- Have you enabled heavy debugging, and waded through what gets logged? Yes, and it says that it's setting the router to /opt/printserver/CAE/router, but I never see it try to run it. - Have you verified that sending jobs directly to the cae-170-gang works? Yes, direct printing to cae-170-gang works fine. - Is the cae-170-router queue up and enabled? Yes and yes. - Does checkpc report any problems? Nope. - Some of the settings in your .common entry are off the beaten path. Have you tried it with a stripped down .common entry? Yes, and I've rewritten the printcap to not use :tc= options, just in case. No difference. I don't think I clearly stated my problem, either.

As you can see from the files below, vi appears to have halved the contents of the file -- I'm assuming that the file after vi is done is no longer usable. Perhaps this question is now becoming one that is more for the file mailing list, but I had said that I would post the files in question regardless. The curious thing is that file, AFAIK, looks at the beginning of a file. vi would not likely be changing the beginning of the first line of the file that signals PCL data, so it doesn't make sense that it would have an effect on that (not to me, anyway). Also interesting is that this printer doesn't seem to use PJL prior to its PCL stream, which is odd from my experience.

Hmm. Sorry, Ryan, I see that in my hurry late yesterday I got mixed up as to which file was which.

In my setup I would route anything comming from a MS-Win system to a printer queue which have no filter what so ever, and leave the filtering entries to be used by unix users. As you can see from the files below, vi appears to have halved the contents of the file -- I'm assuming that the file after vi is done is no longer usable. Perhaps this question is now becoming one that is more for the file mailing list, but I had said that I would post the files in question regardless. The curious thing is that file, AFAIK, looks at the beginning of a file. vi would not likely be changing the beginning of the first line of the file that signals PCL data, so it doesn't make sense that it would have an effect on that (not to me, anyway).

The PS driver doesn't do that, but then again, PS sucks on this printer which is the whole reason I am doing this anyway! If you wouldn't mind, sure. I don't know whether it's the driver for this OS in particular, but the PS drivers even for 2k don't do it. Another item of note is that I have these drivers installed on a Samba server in the PRINT$ share, but I can't see what that has to do with anything either. _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ |Y#| | | |\/| | \ |\ | | | Ryan Novosielski - Jr. UNIX Systems Admin |$| |__| | | |__/ | \| _| | [EMAIL PROTECTED] - 973/972.0922 (2-0922) \__/ Univ. of Med. and Dent. | IST/ACS - NJMS Medical Science Bldg - C630 On Thu, 26 Jun 2003, Sam Lown wrote: On Wed, 2003-06-25 at 21:58, Matt Forrest wrote: The 1st 1200 bytes of the file are all zero (AKA 0x00) immediately after that you have the normal ESC code for some PJL stuff I too confirmed this, there is something seriously wrong with one of your drivers.

Re: LPRng: Problem with 'file'
If you're just looking to strip the extra ^M that Windows sticks into the files, then
change the tr command to tr -d '\015'
\015 is the escape code for ^M.

Nope -- the file behaves exactly the same after the tr (I redirected it to
another file), and still will work only after being vi'd (or probably
otherwise massaged, but this is what I know works).

Could it be the file contain CR (carriage return)? Windows machines puts
both NL and CR and end of lines. How it becomes data I don't know, but
as it was okay after you saved it (on UNIX I presume) it sounds familiar.

Re: LPRng: Problem with 'file'
There is a LOT different. The most noticeable seems to be the outputs of cmp -l in the first column are about 2-3 times larger than the second one. I'm guessing maybe vi chopped some long lines, if that's what those numbers are? Why would ifhp care? In any case, I'm going to produce a set of small df's to post and see what the consensus is... this is driving me /nuts/. _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ |Y#| | | |\/| | \ |\ | | | Ryan Novosielski - Jr. UNIX Systems Admin |$| |__| | | |__/ | \| _| | [EMAIL PROTECTED] - 973/972.0922 (2-0922) \__/ Univ. of Med. and Dent. | IST/ACS - NJMS Medical Science Bldg - C630 On Tue, 24 Jun 2003, Dave Lovelace wrote: Ryan Novosielski wrote: Nope -- the file behaves exactly the same after the tr (I redirected it to another file), and still will work only after being vi'd (or probably otherwise massaged, but this is what I know works). I was somewhat doubtful about CRs being the problem; in my experience, vi leaves them alone. (The vim that's on the RedHat Linux I use most now invisibly assumes that you really mean to edit a DOS/Win file, strips them off when you start editing, and adds them back when you save. vi on the Unix versions I'm familiar with treats them as characters, displayed as ^M.) A suggestion for determining what *is* changing: - make a backup copy of your file - load save with vi as you've been doing - Look at the files. Are they still the same size? Try cmp -l (that's lowercase L to look for differences. Also, these are supposed to be text files, IIRC, aren't they? Try running the before after versions through cat -vt and running diff on the results. Actually, I just had a thought. Probably not the cause of your problem, but one thing I *know* vi is apt to do to a file. If your file ends without a linefeed, vi will add one. (Again, I'm assuming I'm remembering correctly that this is supposed to be text for this idea to make any sense at all.) In that case, echo yourfile would work as well as running through vi. -- - Dave Lovelace [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] - YOU MUST BE A LIST MEMBER IN ORDER TO POST TO THE LPRNG MAILING LIST The address you post from MUST be your subscription address If you need help, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (or lprng-requests or lprng-digest-requests) with the word 'help' in the body.

Re: LPRng: problem with queues passed to chooser script

So I return no queue on stdout and exit with return code 0 After a few seconds the chooser script is started again and now 1 or both queues are available on stdin. What strikes me as odd is the fact that when I return no queue the following is logged by lprng Status: chooser did not find subserver, waiting 10 sec at 09:48:42.277 But only after 2 seconds the chooser script is started again The wording should have been 'the queues that are not busy' are sent on STDIN.

Re: LPRng: Problem with TCP Printing
I have spent many happy hours on a problem like this, too. Memory fades fast, but, thankfully, I keep all my old email. Love those big hard drives. I had three problems in my situation: 1. A required program didn't have it full path name specified. 2. There was an error in the script in my print queue directory. 3. Third, I was using enscript in my homemade print filter, and was trying to cat to it, which is wrong, I think. Also, remember, there are different users involved here. Make sure permissions are set right for your daemon running the print job. And, there always the bizzare idea that your for some odd reason your printcap file can't be read and printed at the same time. And, I don't use an of: like you do. It seems odd that the same file is the if: and the of:.

I set things up in YAST2 and while it works it prints directly to the lpd daemon on the remote printer. I think this is because SUSE 8.0 by default sets force_localhost parameter to false in the printcap file as follows :- remote:\ :cm=lpdfilter method=raw color=yes:\ :[EMAIL PROTECTED]:\ :sd=/var/spool/lpd/remote:\ :lf=/var/spool/lpd/remote/log:\ :af=/var/spool/lpd/remote/acct:\ :ar:force_localhost@:\ :tr=:cl:sh: If I edit this to remove the @ then spooling should be enabled (as verified by doing a checkpc -V -Premote).

Re: LPRng: problem
Hi All
I'm getting this same problem, ifhp doesn't seem to be interpreting
the @DEVFD3 as the LPRng output device, and is instead sending the
output to a file in the spool directory with the name @DEVFD3.
I an using Red Hat 7.3 with:
LPRng-3.8.9-3
ifhp-3.5.8-1
The gs command in ifhp.conf is:
/usr/bin/gs -dSAFER -dPARANOIDSAFER -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -q
'-sOutputFile=@DEVFD3' 31 12 -sPAPERSIZE=\%L{papersize}
-sDEVICE=\%s{gs_device} \%s{gs_options} -
Now in ifhp-3.4.4 the gs command was:
/usr/bin/gs -q -dSAFER -dBATCH -sOutputFile=- -sPAPERSIZE=\%L{papersize}
-sDEVICE=\%s{gs_device} \%s{gs_options} -
Which works !!!
Was there a reason that this was changed ???
Regards
Alan

I'm trying to print the example file 'testpage.ps'. I've shaped my

When I run 'lpr testpage.ps' the LPRng makes his work. I know it because
I've checked the process with the 'lpq -v' command. But later the document
doesn't go to the printer; It is only written into the file '@DEVFD3'. Why
doesn't it go to the printer?
I know that the conversion process is well, because if I run 'cat @DEVFD3
/dev/lp0' I obtain the document in the printer.

with the output of other jobs.

We have bean counters so I need accounting and banner pages. The printcap appears as: 'common ^^ use .

I shall send a copy as soon as it happens again. Set 'max_log_file_size=1' or 10 meg. This should be big enough... What seems to go wrong is that the students switch the printer off then on during a job. The obvious fix is some user education but we're dealing with undergraduate students and that is not an option. What seems to happen :-) is thst ifhp correctly discovers that the printer has gone away and instigates a JFAIL for the job. So far so good, but as soon as ifhp disapears LPRng restarts the of filter which then sits forever waiting to do the accounting which is never going to happen. Eventually the 6000 second timeout for the send job triggers and LPRng resets the queue. OK... This appears to be something more subtle. When the ifhp filter gets an error, it will exit. The TCP/IP connection should still be open. At this point the OF filter is woken up, and sends a 'query' to the printer. However, it should get an 'error' at this point, and should exit with an error message. I am puzzled why it does not. --- Long pause while various experiments are tried... --- OK, problem reproduced... sort of The real problem seems to be that when the ifhp filter (either running as the job filter or the of filter) has sent the 'return status when done' command to the printer, it sits and waits for a return status from the printer. Unfortunately, it will not get it as the printer will not spontaneously return status information. The TCP/IP 'keepalive' facility will cause a 'empty' TCP/IP packet to be sent to the printer. By default, the lpd server sets 'keepalive' on all socket connections. However, this may not be implemented, or may be the default timeout value is the useless 2 hours (see Unix Network Programming, Second Edition, W. Richard Stevens, Volume 1). You can try to lower this value to something like 1 minute using the sysctl facility or whatever you have on your system. BEWARE! This may have subtle interactions with other network connections. I blew a couple of high load TCP/IP systems away doing this. The problem is that you cannot PROVOKE a response from the printer when it comes back up without sending something to it. I have implemented a 'software time to live' option that is controlled by the ifhp 'waitend_interval' value. You might want to try: pr: :ifhp=waitend_interval=60,model=... This will send a probe to the printer every minute. While it is NOT the best way to handle this, it WILL detect the fact that the printer has gone away after 1 minute. The bad news is that if the printer is off line, then this might result in a 'bad job' report and the job being abandoned (ifhp exits with error status). I'm not sure what I want to happen here. Some ideas are: 1. If the if gets a JFAIL then the of is killed as well. 2. The of should timeout after 20 seconds of trying to get a response. 3. on JFAIL the job should be restarted rather than removed (I can see the option for this in the printcap but what happens after 3 attempts?)

Re: LPRng: Problem: waiting for subserver to exit
Just a wild guess here but were the legacy print packages removed or moved prior to the new lprng being installed, I swear I had seen this before whn the solaris print packages were still in place.

Re: LPRng: Problem: waiting for subserver to exit

Re: LPRng: problem with 3.7.1 and gdbm
I have stared at this with no inspiration. Could you please try LPRng 3.7.2 and tell me if the same problem exists? Also, 3.7.3 has a --disable-gdbm option now. From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fri Dec 15 12:35:40 2000 Date: Fri, 15 Dec 2000 14:48:29 -0500 From: John Harper [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: LPRng: problem with 3.7.1 and gdbm I recently tried lprng 3.7.1 and had to bail back to 3.6.22 when it failed after a couple of hours of use. 3.7.1 uses gdbm (which I had to upgrade to 1.8.0) but after a time I found the following errors in the messages file: Dec 8 12:31:37 anemos.scar (Server)[21129]: cclaser: Open_gdbm: cannot lock 'db.cclaser' - Interrupted system call Dec 8 13:34:54 anemos.scar (Server)[29856]: liblaser: Open_gdbm: cannot lock 'db.liblaser' - Interrupted system call Dec 8 14:39:06 anemos.scar (Worker - Remote)[29468]: quille: Link_dest_port_num: LOGIC ERROR! no port number! and the whole print system ground to a halt - jobs would queue but nothing would print. Being an active system I didn't have time to play around, so this is all I have at the moment - the underlying OS is Solaris 7 and reasonably well patched. Now both cclaser and liblaser are queues that load balance by each forwarding to 2 other queues that drive real printers. It's these queues that will accumulate jobs, so I guess that's why the problems occurred there. quille, on the other hand, is a queue that drives a printer directly - but all these printers are handled by calling papif (from the CAP60 distribution) from a Perl input filter (so accounting can be done), ie lpd makes no connection itself to the printer. So I don't really understand that error.. I'm not even sure the problem is really lprng's so much as gdbm's - but I will try to suppress gdbm use by hiding the libraries (I'll take the performance hit as we are not generally high volume) - a configure flag to suppress gdbm would be nice It might depend on what sort of file locking gdbm builds with (looks like it's using fcntl - that ought to be good enough, however I have had occasional problems with fcntl locks in other apps) John Harper Academic Computing Coordinator University of Toronto at Scarborough [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.scar.utoronto.ca/~harper/ - YOU MUST BE A LIST MEMBER IN ORDER TO POST TO THE LPRNG MAILING LIST The address you post from MUST be your subscription address If you need help, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (or lprng-requests or lprng-digest-requests) with the word 'help' in the body.

From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu Nov 16 11:31:10 2000
Date: Thu, 16 Nov 2000 18:12:29 + (GMT)
From: Keith Matthews [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Subject: LPRng: Problem with end of document form feeds
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I'm having some problems installing LPRng, system details given below.
Without using filters I have got plain ASCII text to print correctly on
both printers in the system (an LQ300 dot-matrix and a Stylus Color
800), but found it necessary to add the fq' entry in the prntcap for
both to get an end-of-document form feed.
On adding the filter, the Stylus renders the document text correctly but
refuses to add the form feed (I have not added the filter to the LQ as
it seems worthless on such a printer).
I'm sure this is a configuration issue but all my attempts have failed
and I've now run out of ideas.
System
Definite Linux (RH 6.1 clone) upgraded to 2.2.17 kernel
LPRng 3.6.26 built from tarball

The of entry was added in desperation but seems to have had no effect. I
have tried all ifhp device entries applicable to the Stylus color 800
except the 1440 dpi version.

This mostly works[1] in 3.6.23, but in 3.6.24 and 3.6.26 it fails. The error goes: Status: opening device '|/etc/print-xt04' at 11:09:59.055 Status: cannot open '|/etc/print-xt04' - 'No Error', attempt 1, sleeping 10 at 11:09:59.056 Simply downgrading to 3.6.23 makes this work again. The script _is_ being called but no input is ever being passed to it. I'm running Red Hat Linux 7.0, the LPRng RPMs are straight from ftp.astart.com. (Well, the 3.6.24 one came with RedHat, but it does some things differently and I only used it once to pinpoint the version where the problem started.) Any help would be appreciated. I'm happy to crank up debugging or do other hacks as needed. 1) For some reason the jobs aren't deleted after they've been printed, but this is at worst a minor issue. - J - YOU MUST BE A LIST MEMBER IN ORDER TO POST TO THE LPRNG MAILING LIST The address you post from MUST be your subscription address If you need help, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (or lprng-requests or lprng-digest-requests) with the word 'help' in the body.

Hello,
i have noticed the same problem. There is some code missing in the
file lpd_jobs.c. The filedescriptor is not set. Just add the following
code at line 2251 (Version 3.6.26) of the lpd_jobs source.
if( (close( in[0] ) == -1 ) ){
LOGERR_DIE(LOG_INFO)"Printer_open: close(%d) failed", in[0]);
}
/* the following line is missing since 3.6.24 */
device_fd = in[1] ; /* patched by Frank Botte */
break;
This patch worked for me .
bye

Betreff: LPRng: Problem with lp=|/path/to/program after 3.6.23
Autor:[EMAIL PROTECTED] bei INTERNET
Datum:15.11.00 01:53
I have some old X terminals which are useful as print servers; you access
them with a script like:
#!/bin/sh
/bin/cat | /usr/bin/rsh xterm opendev /dev/pp0
and them put "lp=|/path/to/script" in your printcap. This mostly works[1]
in 3.6.23, but in 3.6.24 and 3.6.26 it fails. The error goes:
Status: opening device '|/etc/print-xt04' at 11:09:59.055
Status: cannot open '|/etc/print-xt04' - 'No Error', attempt 1, sleeping 10 at
11:09:59.056
Simply downgrading to 3.6.23 makes this work again. The script _is_ being
called but no input is ever being passed to it.
I'm running Red Hat Linux 7.0, the LPRng RPMs are straight from
ftp.astart.com. (Well, the 3.6.24 one came with RedHat, but it does some
things differently and I only used it once to pinpoint the version where
the problem started.)
Any help would be appreciated. I'm happy to crank up debugging or do other
hacks as needed.
1) For some reason the jobs aren't deleted after they've been printed, but
this is at worst a minor issue.

Re: LPRng: Problem with ifhp-3.3.21
Found the solution !!
On the ExtendNet external print servers there is a port configuration parameter
for "Language Switching"(ie PCL/PS), on mine the value was set to "Auto". The trick
is to set this to "off". Now the "pjl echo" is returned almost immediately. Obviously
the
transfer time does not improve. I verified this with other setups. Suggest you add
this
to the documentation ...
Question : What arguments can I use to persuade our IT department to switch from
external
ExtendNet print servers to internal JetDirect cards ?

Yes there may be a problem with the printer but the point
was and still is :
- 3.3.21 does not work as per emails.
- the below setup is with 3.3.20 and also as noted only works with
status enabled(ie status@) causes the below jobs to fail.
- with the original config(please see earlier emails) the printer
works for all jobs but without status.
- for other printer protocols(ie vines) the printer works without
a glitch or delays.
I gather that your printer is actually on a parallel port of a
print server box. I have found that the 'bidirectional' support
for these boxes can be very 'slow' when you want status. Apparently
what happens is the box needs to turn the parallel port around.
It has no knowledge of the 'need' to do this, so it simply uses
a simple timeout mechanism: after N seconds without writing to the
parallel port (N seconds idle) try to read status from the port.
There might be a way to configure N so that it is small (N = 5
is usually about right), but in general I have had little luck
doing this.
I strongly recommend that you use an internal JetDirect or other
card that plugs into the printer. This will directly place data
into an internal buffer and will read status and error information
from an internal buffer, and act as a true full duplex data channel
to the printer.

My apologies ... I spoke too soon. On small jobs everything appears to work.
On larger
jobs in PS only some or none of the output is printed. However in these cases
the
status according to LPRng is okay - ie sent correctly and removed from queue.
However
on the printer the status is still the name of the user who sent the file, ie
root, and
it stays that way until the printer is sent another job.
If I remove the status@ the job does print properly(and the pagecount is
updated). However
at this point I am back to the problem of the printer taking 2 minutes to
complete !

Re: LPRng: Problem with ifhp-3.3.21
My apologies ... I spoke too soon. On small jobs everything appears to work. On larger
jobs in PS only some or none of the output is printed. However in these cases the
status according to LPRng is okay - ie sent correctly and removed from queue. However
on the printer the status is still the name of the user who sent the file, ie root,
and
it stays that way until the printer is sent another job.
If I remove the status@ the job does print properly(and the pagecount is updated).
However
at this point I am back to the problem of the printer taking 2 minutes to complete !

What changed in 3.3.21 to cause the below failure ?

If in the printcap I comment out the bp,ifhp, and if lines then printing works.
Any ideas where to look ? The only difference in what you attempted to my setup
is 3.6.26(where is that?) and the fact that I am printing to a extendnet print
server and you to a jetdirect card.

Posted this on the 14-15th originally and never saw a response ... here
it is again ...
In an effort to solve a problem I upgraded both ifhp and lprng and found
another problem !
Original config : LPRng-3.6.19 and ifhp-3.3.17
new config : LPRng-3.6.24 and ifhp-3.3.21
Loaded on a redhat 6.2 system attempting to print to a HP8000 connected
to a extendnet print server. Packages were all loaded via rpm.
With the old configuration and the following printcap I could print
successfully :
deslz:
:lp=deslz%9100
:sd=/usr/spool/lpd/deslz
:mx#0
:bp=/usr/libexec/filters/pclbanner
:ifhp=model=hp8000,status@
:if=/usr/libexec/filters/ifhp
I copied this and it worked with the setup
LPRng-3.6.26 and ifhp-3.3.21... Strange...
However with the new configuration printing fails. I get the banner
page(ie from pclbanner) but no file printed. This happens three times
before the job appears to be removed.
Below I include the status files from /usr/spool/lpd/deslz and the new
config.
Any ideas ?
The original problem I was trying to solve was how to print from any other
input
tray then the default ie letter in tray 2. The printer(from the config page)
has
letter in tray 2 and 11x17 in tray 3.
With the original config I attempted :
lp -oinlower file
lp -ointray3 file
lp -o11x17 file
lp -opaper=11x17 file
All with no success ... thought that maybe an upgrade to 21 was the answer :(

Re: LPRng: problem with ifhp and a Phaser 750
An error does show up in the output of lpq -v using these options, but it DOES seem to work (at least so far). Here's the error: Filter_status: error = 'timeout;' at 10:30:00.895 Filter_status: offendingcommand = 'timeout' at 10:30:00.895 Thanks, Brent PS Judging from the PPD, I'm going to have to play with the options for this printer. It seems to be quite unlike the ifhp descriptions for the other phasers (actually, it looked like the phaser740 ifhp options also didn't match up to its PPD). This printer claims to even be PJL and PCL capable.

Re: LPRng: Problem in Direct TCP/IP printing with Win2K
I have also seen the problem with Windows 2000 not zeroing the file size if you don't check the 'LPR byte counting' check box. As far as my Sniffer(tm) and I can tell it's a somewhat random number that appears, but usually quite large (in the terrabytes). The only solution I've come up with is to ALWAYS tell Win2K to count the bytes so that the file size is explicitly given in the data header. - Justus [EMAIL PROTECTED] on 08/30/2000 06:48:01 PM Please respond to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc:(bcc: Justus J.

Re: LPRng: Problem in Direct TCP/IP printing with Win2K
Hi Patrick and all, Patrick, you're looking at the wrong place. You try to set the W2K box to be an LPD server, I'm trying to setup a W2K box to print to an LPD server. You do that by the following: Create a new local printer Select "Create a new port", Port type: Standard TCP/IP port Type in your LPD server's IP address/FQDN In Device type, Select Custom, and hit Settings In Protocol, select LPR. Fill the required queue name in the box. You'll see the "LPR byte counting" option in the middle of the dialog box. Regarding the 15 digit number, I stand corrected, it was a 15 digit not 12 digit. I'm getting the same number every time I'm using this port without "byte counting enabled". Other people report random results, which makes me suspect that this is a non-initialized memory issue.

I have an LPRng lpd server (3.6.24) running on a Solaris 8 box. The lpd server runs great and is being used in production (by both local lpr and remote lpr). I configured a new printer on a win2k pro. box, and setup an LPR port as the printer's port. When I try to send a test page, I get an error dialog box 'There was an error encountered when printing the document "Testpage"'. On the server side there are no changes. Setting up debug level 2 on the queue does not show any activity on the queue sub-process. Starting lpd with debug shows that the win2k box actually connects and selects the right print queue, but nothing more. Snooping the network shows that the lpd server returns an "insufficient file space" error packet back to the win2k box. Obviously, there are no space issues involved. I have also tried it with LPRng 3.6.19 on HPUX 10.20 - same results. If I stop the lpd and start the Solaris print service, the job is accepted. Anyone had any experiance in setting direct TCP/IP printing with LPRng? I'll appreciate any feedback on what can go wrong here. Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com Your NT system is sending jobs to the wrong queue. You most likely have a problem with 'case' or something. You are on the right track with the debugging, try: lpd -F -Dnetwork+2 This will show the network traffic and you can see the actual things sent. At one point I used to log the 'bad queue' error but some enterprising hackers discovered it made an excellent DOS attack method.

Re: LPRng: Problem with checkpc
Unless their configuration files (i.e. .paprc files) were special files or zero length, they shouldn't have gotten removed by checkpc (at least not as it stands in version 3.6.22). However, only looking for what you know you created in there probably does make sense. Ah, well - so much for my hope to get a patch credit in the CHANGES file.

Specifically, I have a character special file in many queues (a null device) which I use in conjunction with Netatalk filtering and printing. When I run checkpc -A [time] -r -Pqueuename, it removes the null device from inside the queue. A check in checkpc looks to see if a file is zero length and will then remove it if it is older than the time set in the A flag, but doesn't confirm that it is a regular file. The following simple patch will fix that, and has been checked on Solaris 2.6 (and I at least examined the man page for stat on Linux and confirmed that it has the s_IFREG and S_IFMT constants defined): I have also got email from somebody using 'netatalk' to communicate with their printers and they pointed out that I am removing the configuration files from the directory also. So I have modified the behaviour to only remove temp files and job files created by LPRng and ifhp. If you have other files, then you will need to write your own 'cron cleanup'. I think this is a pretty good solution as it now allows you to put just about anything in there... Watch out for 'checkpc -f' still - it will brutally change permissions still.

Well, I have a solution but you will not like it. I think.
I have solved the problem exactly this way ;-) And was about to answer my
own mail with this solution ;-)
So I like it!
First, if I get this straight, you want to
a) send some PostScript at the start of each PostScript file
Yes, I want to set a postscript "hock" on /Endpage (attaching it to the
pagedevice mekanism), which means that it gets activated on every page
(and prints my bannerline).
b) have this PostScript 'configured' for each user.
Yes, I just didn't realize that the information was available in the
ifhp.conf, until I saw the "pjl_ready_msg" syntax.
Suppose that we append the following to the ifhp.conf file:
[ hp5simx ]
tc=hp5simx
ps_bannerline=
20 dict begin
/bline true def
/user (\%s{n}) def
/job (\%s{J}) def

Not really easily.
You would have to modify ifhp.c:
char *Find_sub_value( int c, char *id, int strval )
{
char *s = 0;
int i;
DEBUG4("Find_sub_value: type '%c', id '%s'", c, id );
if( s == 0 !strcasecmp(id,"pid") ){
static char pid[32];
SNPRINTF(pid, sizeof(pid),"%d",getpid());
s = pid;
}
/* pretty date */
if( s == 0 !strcasecmp(id,"date") ){
static char date[64];
struct tm tm;
gettimeofday(tm);
strftime(date, sizeof(date),"format for date",tm);
s = date;
}
Now change
/date (\%s{D}) def
TO
/date (\%s{date}) def
and you will have what you want.
Of course you could even go further and use:
ifhp.conf file:
date_format= format for strftime ...
/* pretty date */
if( s == 0 !strcasecmp(id,"date") ){
static char date[64];
char *fmt = Find_str_value(Model,"date_format");
struct tm tm;
if( date_format ){
gettimeofday(tm);
strftime(date, sizeof(date),Date_format,tm);

Problem with ifhp with respecting the "ps_eoj_at_start@"
My problem is that,
there are too many CTRL-D,
between the postscript-code from the "of" filter and the "if" filter.
I used to solve this problem, by specifying "ps_eoj_at_start@" (or as it
recently was known "no_ps_eoj").
If I don't specify "ps_eoj_at_start@", then 2 CTRL-D exist between the
ps-code from "of" filter and the "if" filter If I do specify
"ps_eoj_at_start@", then there is only 1 CTRL-D.
(info: the easiest way to debug this, is by setting dev=/tmp/d )
(versions) I have tried the different version of "ifhp", and the
problem/error happens between version 3.3.12 and 3.3.13. (version 3.3.12
works and 3.3.13 does not). (I'm running with 3.3.17)
The problem, might be that the "of" filter, puts an CTRL-D after sending
it's print job. If this is the case, then I would like an
"ps_eoj_at_end@" option, like the eksisting "ps_eoj_at_start@" option.
