LPRng: problems with HP Laserjet 9000 DN...
I can't find this printer in the list of supported printers
(ifhp ... HOWTO...)
Which model type can I use ???
I have following problem:
::
Because I couldn't find the exact model type I had configured
a queue for the new printer using model type hp8100
(We are already using such printers successfull!)
printcap-entry:
queue_name
:lp=xxx.xx.xx.xxx%9100
:ifhp=model=hp8100,status,sync
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/queue_name
:if=/usr/libexec/filters/ifhp
:bp=/usr/libexec/filters/pclbanner
:lf=log
:mx#0:ab
ifhp.conf-entry:
[hp8100]
pcl
ps
text
pjl
file_output_match = [
*postscript* ps
*text* ps /usr/bin/a2ps -q --portrait --margin -1 -b \
-j --center-title=\%s{f} -u [EMAIL PROTECTED] -M A4 -o-
]
For accounting we are using a modified version of the delivered
accounting.sh script.
The outputs of the printer are ok.
But the accounting values are often bad - getting (p) 0 but
1 or 2 pages were printed...
I think I had this problem already had (??? with a printer HP4100 ???)
I believe the accounting.sh script gets the end of the job earlier than
the real end ... reading of pagecounter by the accounting filter gets than
(p) 0 or less pages as really would be printed (?)
What can I do???
::
getting status-,pagecount-infrmations by using snmp tools ???
other possibilities ???

No, but you can include it in ifhp.conf yourself.
a queue for the new printer using model type hp8100
(We are already using such printers successfull!)
I have added it in ifhp.conf thus:
# PRINTER % - HP Laserjet 8000 Series, {/hp(.*)/HP$1/}
[ hp8000 hp8100 hp8150 hp9000 ]
^^
*and* -- because I use the waitend_byjobname patch -- I have
an extra entry like this, a bit furter down:
#!End of [ hp8000 ]
# PRINTER hp9000
# New entry, we try this trick here too...
[ hp9000 ]
# to fix waitend
pjl_waitend_byjobname
#!End of [ hp9000 ]
As I understand this, it makes the 9000 inherit whatever
properties ifhp assumes about the 8000 etc., with the addition
of pjl_waitend_byjobname.
For accounting we are using a modified version of the delivered
accounting.sh script.
The outputs of the printer are ok.
But the accounting values are often bad - getting (p) 0 but
1 or 2 pages were printed...

Yup, both these printers count pages like a dream with the
above-mentioned patch. Get it before they are sold out, at
http://www.groundsouth.com/patches/ifhp/
Our 2 HP9000's lost the pagecount (ie. counted 0 pages) for only 15
out of 8210 jobs last month (May). Our 75 HP4100's missed only 211 jobs,
out of 61514 jobs in the same period. A miss-rate of less then 0.5%
is very good, I think.

LPRng: Bug in src/common/lpd_status.c
Concerning handling of force_lpq_status. On line 132 you can today read this: Split(l,t,Value_sep,0,0,0,0,0,0); If I understand this correctly, and look at other examples of calls to Match_ipaddr_valus, the use of Value_sep here is wrong, as you want to be able to enumerate IP adresses/masks with comma, and hence need to split on comma and not on for example an equal sign (=). For this to happen you should probably use File_sep which is used elsewhere. Problem is of course that in also contains semicolon, but we have already split on that earlier to it should be safe to use. But I must again repeat my earlier note that the relaxed use of separators is biting our ass right here. I would replace line 132 with Split(l,t,File_sep,0,0,0,0,0,0); for the time being, while thinking about redoing the entire separator scheme in LPRng. Because I presume that you mean that one should be able to put a comma-separated list there, I quote the HOWTO: The entry has the format KEY=list;KEY=list... where KEY is s for short and l for long format, and list is a list of hosts or IP addresses. If you use the former (current) version of that line (with Value_sep) you would have to use the format: KEY=ip1=ip2=ip3;KEY=ip4=ip5=ip6 So either the documenation or code is wrong.

LPRng: Re: Rewrite the control file hostname with real requesting hostname
And yet another fix to this patch, fixing Value_sep to File_sep in one
place. Hopefully this will be the last post about this, as I am rewriting
this patch to put a trusted username in the R record (accounting info) in
the control file instead, and leaving the P record (username) to be
whatever the user sets and hence untrusted.

Re: LPRng: Ricoh Afico 350e
It claims that everything is sent via [EMAIL PROTECTED] (for LPD) or sent on port 10001. I so far haven't gotten postscript out of it via LPRng, but a co-worker of mine says he bypasses the queue and does get PS to work. Incidentally... I discovered the source of my problem. My boss' workstation with a standalone driver for the printer prints with PJL in the header, and the job prints properly. The drivers I have hosted on the Samba server I have are tacking this onto the beginning of the dfA...'s: ^NM-s^_M-QM-- I don't know what the hell that is, so I really don't know what I could do with the magic file. It calls a file prefaced with this a data file, and then for some reason it makes the leap to PS and prints out some PS headers stairstepped across the page.

LPRng: New feature patch set: Write authentication user in control file
List,
The following patch set implements new features so that you can configure
LPRng to trust certain network address (like those originating on a low
port on your network) and write the user names given in the control from
these as the accounting user field (R) in the control file. You can also
specify a list of untrusted address and what accounting user they will be
given, and also a default user (default _untrusted) for those address
not caught by the trusted and untrusted rules. The accounting user is
passed via the -R flag to all filter and other scripts called from LPRng.
This patch also includes my old feature of rewriting the control file host
name field (H) with the real remote fully qualified domain name (host
name). To rewrite all H fields with real remote host use:
force_controlfile_originate_hostname=0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0
To turn on the first feature, put in lpd.conf/printcap:
force_controlfile_accountingname=1
To specify which addresses you trust user names from:
force_controlfile_accountingname_trusted=10.0.0.0/255.255.255.0
To specify which you don't trust and what to use as their accounting name
force_controlfile_accountingname_untrusted=_unauthenticated=192.168.0.0/255.255.0.0,10.0.1.0/255.255.255.0;_public=10.0.2.42
To override default user, set the following variable to something:
force_controlfile_accountingname_default
All code released under the GPL just like LPRng. Enjoy and report bugs you
find to me. I hope this release will be bug free, but it is first release
so you never know as usual. It has been tested on my production system, so
I should notice pretty quickly if something goes bezerk.

Have you tried enabling appsocket when printing to this printer? The fact the printer does not accept connections after losing a connection to it sounds suspiciously like Xerox implemented appsocket on this printer, too...you'll probably find the printer accepts connections once the current job finishes.

Re: LPRng: terminating postscript jobs

PostScript end-of-job is a control-D. This depends on how you are sending the job to the printer. In some cases, a control-D is just a character which will be read by the postscript interpreter, and it will generate an error (for undefined command, or undefined variable). Of course, Toby did say this was for a locally-attached printer, so control-D is probably the right solution. It's just that I work a lot with network printers and thus I get annoyed when programs blindly add control-D's at the beginning or end of the postscript output that they generate. Control-D is *not* a postscript command. But it's reasonable for a print-queue specific filter to add control-D's, if that will solve the problem. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn= [EMAIL PROTECTED] Senior Systems Programmer or [EMAIL PROTECTED] Rensselaer Polytechnic Instituteor [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.
