Re: LPRng: mostly ascii file getting typed as data
I have a unique situation in which professors are dealing with files that
students create via a shell script called photo. The photo script
Aren't professors wonderful.
We avoid these problems, *and many others*, by the simple
expedient that we accept only postscript files. People
have to convert to postscript externally.
That is to say that there are thousands of ways of rendering
text to print and no matter what you install there is likely
only one person, the one who asked for it, who is going to be
happy with it. This way everyone gets what they like. In this
case you would shift the problem to the professors.
So much for wishes: It's doubtful that you would be allowed to
change policies even if you wanted to.
So I offer the following - require the students to run their
scripts through the following little program to clean it up.
You might consider the possiblity of installing it in your
spooler but personally I wouldn't.

LPRng: LPRng on SCO?
Before I make the attempt to install GCC on our SCO (Openserver 5) boxes (in order to attempt to compile LPRng there), has anyone else attempted to get LPRng compiled and running under this environment? It's a vendor system, and I'd hate to see GCC end up munging something that we can't fix... At the moment, I'd love to get it running on our application servers. The standard SCO LPD is...well, absolutely, mind-numbingly horrible. They all currently spool to a central print server (LPRng under Linux), but whenever that server has to be rebooted (long story, hardware issues as well as buggy iBCS), the LPD and lpsched hangs on every SCO box that is attempting to print. No matter now long you wait, they will never unstick, and you have to manually restart them on all the application servers. There's also an issue where we spool off a batch of invoices which are sorted in a particular order. Going from SCO's LPD - LPRng throws the printouts out of sequence. Instead, we had to use a standard (bleh!) lpsched setup of doing an rcmd to the print server and running lp that way. And, finally, there's the issue of a limit of 1000 spool files--yes, this is an inherent issue with anything that follows the LPD standards, which I'd hate to break. But at least I can work around it with LPRng if it ever becomes too much of an issue, but with SCO's version...argh! Okay, enough ranting about SCO. Our vendor plans to switch to Linux anyway, as soon as they can find a replacement for pg and some other utilities they currently only have under SCO... -- Bradley Hartin - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Network and Communications Administrator Straus-Frank Company - 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.

LPRng: Printer LED display
At some point in my accounting scripts, I send a print job for users who are out of quota that has this message on it and instructions to resolve it. I send it lpr -Y to make sure that this job does not get held as well as the job they tried to send (it'd do no good if they never saw it). However, ifhp then does not update the LED. How can I, in perl, send a message to the printer such that it will change its LED to read something like USER novosirj OUT OF QUOTA or something like this? I'm not really sure of the proper way to open the line of communcation in perl to do this, nor what PJL commands to send to it.

Subject:LPRng: mostly ascii file getting typed as data
I have a unique situation in which professors are dealing with files that
students create via a shell script called photo. The photo script
basically runs the Unix script command and saves the output to a
file. Usually the things they do while running the photo script are to
cat
out their programs, issue some commands and execute their programs. If
they make mistakes while typing and backspace those characters end up as
non-printable in the photo log file. These files reside on another Unix
system outside my dept. and when they are printed (currently from DEC
Unix)
they are simply handed over to my lpd. I'm using LPRng 3.7.4 and ifhp
3.4.4The problem is that even though the majority of the file is ascii
text the GNU file command in my ifhp filter is declaring these files as
type data because of those non-printable characters. The file type data
is
not defined and so ifhp quits without printing. As a quick fix I tried
just to tell ifhp to run it through a2ps anyway even if the type was data.
In that case a2ps is complaining that the file is binary and won't convert
it. The strange thing (or maybe not strange to those of you who
understand
this better than I) is that running a2ps -Pmyprinter
--non-printable-format=space thenastyfile on the original system lets the
file come through just fine.
Below for reference here's the relevant section of my ifhp.conf
file. Nothing fancy. Anyone have any ideas of anything I can do to
handle
this situation? To be honest I got LPRng + ifhp up and running and
haven't
worked with it much since then. TIA for any help.

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? David Challenor -- David Challenor Senior Technician, Coventry School of Art and Design Right theory, wrong reality Did you look at the detailed status? Try 'lpq -l' and see what the filter reports when sending the job. If you get something like 'connection closed' then your TCP/IP timeout ON THE PRINTER needs to be increased. The default is 30 seconds, set it to something ridiculous like 600 if you can.

Re: LPRng: printer errors
hi, looks like a postscript error, maybe you can turn on the postscript error handler on the printer, and capture the PS file... regards ~christoph Phil Moses wrote: Anyone have a take on this?

LPRng: lpd.perms has me confused
Using windows to access a printer on a samba server running lprng, everything works except, after I pause a print job, I cannot release it. It says I don't have the right to access the printer. I can delete the job though. This must be a permission deal with lpc based on what is in lpd.perms, I am guessing. Howerver, I can't make heads or tails out of lpd.perms. Can someone offer me a line for lpd.perms which will allow access for a user on the same host that sent the job to resume the job?

LPRng: checkpc speed
G'day all, I am wondering if checkpc is slow for everybody? I have noticed that it takes quite a long time (v3.8.1) to go through a printcap that I have here with 122 printer entries. Is it doing some network connections or something like that?
