LPRng: Equinox ELS ports
Has anyone here used LPRng under Linux to successfully print to serial printers attached to an Equinox ELS terminal server? The rprint utility is, as of yet, unavailable for Linux. Will setting up a reverse telnet service (set service printer 8000 port 8 telnet enabled) and printing directly to that port (rp=els%8000) work? Unfortunately, I have not had time to play with it myself, and will not have time for some weeks to come, so I'm hoping someone else can at least give me a heads up as to whether or not this will work.

LPRng: HP PPD file usurps PostScript EndPage
Patrick asked me to share this little story. My print filter uses the PostScript EndPage hook to create a watermark at the top of the first page of output as a replacement for a banner page. After I started using some HP printers, I noticed that no watermark was being printed. This was because the HP PPD file contains some code which redefines the EndPage routine. Since the Adobe driver was inserting this code after my watermark code, my watermark code lost. I had to remove the HP code from the PPD file and propagate it to all clients. The morals of this story are: Vendor-supplied PPD files are not necessarily your friends. It is extremely difficult, if not impossible, to rigorously impose printing policy at the server end. But I still think it's worth trying. -Rick |Rick Cochran phone: 607-255-7618| |Network and Computing Systems, Cornell CIT FAX: 607-255-8521| |730 Rhodes Hall, Ithaca, N.Y. 14853email: [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: Compilation on 11i, revisited
The problem described below may have been solved already... I haven't been following the group lately... but I just spent a day or so fighting through it. Turns out that a standard lprng configure on HP defines the selected compiler as the Loader. For some reason the libtool that gets built during configuration doesn't recognize this, and does not include the pass argument through to loader syntax in its link command. It puts the loader-specific argument directly on a compiler command line. The fix that worked for me on HP-UX 11 was to specify --with-linker=/usr/bin/ld on the configure command. I got a few warnings from libtool, but the libraries got built. I also had Warnings from both gcc and the HP ansi c about pointer type mismatches on the select command. I had to remove the -Werror from CFLAGS in the src Makefile to get the build to complete.

LPRng: Apple double printing problem
Hi, Can anyone shed any light on a problem I have. It may well not be anything to do with LPRng, but I guess that there are people on this list that can tell me! When printing like this: Apple G4s - Mac Administrator (On Mac) - LPRng (on Linux) / IFHP - HP8550GN(JetDirect) Regularly results in the HP trying to print 2 copies of the page. The second one sometimes prints, sometimes prints with a postscript error, and sometimes hangs in the printer. The print jobs are usually single page and heavy on graphics. The problems do not appear when printing direct to the printer from a G4, or when printing from a Windows or Unix machine to the LPRng server. The print jobs do get bounced between several queues on the LPRng server to do accounting and hold the job for later release. Where is the problem and what is the solution?

Does anyone have any experience getting these set up under LPRng? Normally, in /etc/printcap for regular lpr (below is our current working /etc/printcap on a non-LPRng'd machine), we'd tell it: (The first is for regular print jobs where the copier will actually remember the job for reprints later. The latter is for a private print queue which does not remember the job ) canon2|canon:\ :sh:\ :rm=canon2.corp.lumeta.com:mx#0:\ :sd=/var/spool/output/canon2:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:rp=print:\ :rw=true: canon2-private|canon-private:\ :sh:\ :rm=canon2.corp.lumeta.com:mx#0:\ :sd=/var/spool/output/canon2-private:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:rp=direct:\ :rw=true: Every way I try and set this up in LPRng, it fails. :( Any ideas?

LPRng: spooling to windows lpd
As per windows FAQ, if you wish to spool to windows lpd server l cahracter must be passed to windows lpd for passing the job directly to printer. Following is the text from Microsoft site The Windows NT LPD Service follows the RFC1179 specification. This states that the LPR client must tell the LPD server how to handle the print job. If the client formats the job, it must send the l control character to instruct the LPD server to print the job without any alteration. How can I make LPRng lpd server send 'l' character. Without this, windows lpd prints the actual postscript I sent to the lpd server. Here is my printcap entry.
