Re: LPRng: printer default
hi, you should turn the printer internal default to A4... regards ~christoph On Fri, 1 Feb 2002 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have set up a server running lprng-3.7.4.

There was a revision in the information in the hold file, and I

Re: LPRng: Destination (output device) in printcap entry
Just guessing, but: Common sense says PASS is the printer queue at 192.122.1.123 Common sense says lp=192.1yy22.1.123%5001 means 5001 is the port for an lpd daemon on 192.etc. Joel On Mon, Feb 04, 2002 at 01:33:15PM +0200, cosminb wrote: Hi all, I'm new in the lprng list.

Hi,
WORKS:
enscript_options= -o-
enscript_converter= /opt/pd/libexec/filters/wrapper /opt/gnu/bin/enscript
\%s{enscript_options}
text_converter= \%s{enscript_converter}

enscript_converter= /opt/pd/libexec/filters/wrapper /opt/gnu/bin/enscript
\%s{enscript_options}
text_converter= \%s{enscript_converter}
The 'enscript_options' are being run through a Printf-like conversion
process. You need to escape them by using %%. Try:
enscript_options= --header='$n %%W Page $%% of $=' -o-
I gave up on enscript and tried a2ps instead. Same problems, but it
finally worked when I enclosed the whole flag in ticks like below:
a2ps_options= -q -B -1 -M \%M{papersize} '--left-footer=Jobsize: \%s{b}'

LPRng: Re: lprng lpd remote command control operation
Answer:
Run
lpc -Dnetwork,1 release lp [jobnum] /tmp/log 21
You will see the command you need in the /tmp/log file in hte
network debugging stuff.
The command has the foramat:
\006printer user command printer options
So this would be:
\006lp root release lp
It is even documented in the HOWTO...

this is my first time communicating to you, so let me say thank you very
much for your work on lprng. it's a great product.
i need help getting the lpc requests documented in section 19.8 LPC
Requests of the manual to work. if i make a non-modifying call (e.g. lpq or
status), i get the expected results. if i use a modifying call (e.g.
release), i get back the following response:
Printer: lp@redhat
lp@redhat: no
Huh? it's telling me no! i admit i had to laugh at that reponse. i haven't
had a computer tell me no in a very long time.
My command string is as follows:
\006lp@redhat root@redhat release lp 447
where:
\006 is a single byte of value 6
lp is the printer spool name
redhat is the host name
447 is the job number
here's what lpq shows me:
[root@redhat LPRng]# lpq
Printer: lp@redhat (dest lp@kyocera)
Queue: no printable jobs in queue
Holding: 1 held jobs in queue
Server: no server active
Status: job 'cfA427redhat.cmsdiginet.com' error 'aborting operations' at
11:55:25.126
Filter_status: no sync response from printer at 09:12:06.403
Rank Owner/ID Class Job Files Size Time
hold root@redhat+447 A 447 /etc/hosts 169
11:56:10
here's my printcap:

:retry_econnrefused=1
:retry_nolink=1
:socket_linger=1
:remote_support=1
:originate_port=512 1023
here's my java code that makes the request:
public String ReleaseJobOnHold(JobInfo jobInfo)
throws IOException
{
Connect();
OutputStream outputStream = _socket.getOutputStream();
// the control operation has the following format:
// \006printer user command [options]
Write(outputStream,DO_CONTROL_OPERATION); // \006
Write(outputStream,jobInfo._printerName + );
Write(outputStream,jobInfo._submittedByUserID + @ +
jobInfo._submittedByHost + );
// the release command has the following format:
// release (printer[@host] | all) (name[@host] | job | all)*
String commandLine =
release +
jobInfo._printerName + +
String.valueOf(jobInfo._jobNumber);
System.out.println(command=+commandLine);
Write(outputStream,commandLine);
Write(outputStream,LF);
// read the result
InputStream inputStream = _socket.getInputStream();
String inputLine = Read(inputStream);
Done();
return inputLine;
}
how do i get LPRng to release the job?

LPRng: The various releases
Hello Patrick, At least for me (because I have to package it for Debian) it would be great to know when a version of LPRng is released. I only knew 3.8.5 was released because I saw it on the website. A few days ago I saw you talking about 3.8.6 but that isn't on the website. All I need is a simple email, like echo Hello World | mailx -s 'LPRng 3.8.6 Released' [EMAIL PROTECTED] that would do it, then i know it is downloaidng and packaging time and that I haven't downloaded a test package. Ideally having the last changelog block is better because I can prioritise it better, but that will do.
