Re: LPRng: Remote printing / strange output

Yop, my fault, didn't made the client entry :sh in /etc/printcap
Instead I could recognize another thing: Files below size 880 bytes
won't be printed! Doin' lpc client, lpc server both on server and client
didn't show a param like that!

 The printer is receiving the job information and printing the banner page but it is 
 not printing the actual job -- perhaps your
 filter isn't processing plain text properly and the printer is just dumping it.  You 
 might want to set up a temporary (debug) queue
 and print to it and inspect the output -- make sure your filter is producing 
 something your printer can understand from the plain
 text -- PS, PCL, or PJL.

 Subject: LPRng: Remote printing / strange output
 
 
  Hi there!
 
  Trying to print remotely from client B to server A:
 
  lpr [EMAIL PROTECTED] /etc/resolv.conf
 
  Instead of printing the client B's local resolv.conf I got following
  output on printer:
 
  User: root
  Host: client.domain
  Class: A
  Job: /etc/resolv.conf
 
  Finished! What the heck is that thing?? Local printing on server A is
  fine, lpc status [EMAIL PROTECTED] gives me correct info. As far as I can see,
  the file (/etc/resolv.conf) is transferred correctly into server's spool
  directory and everything looks like if I would print locally.
 
  greets
  stg

Subject: LPRng: PPD files
Date: 08/05/03 16:17

I have been considering putting in the ability to use PPD files.
However, I once again come up with the copyright problem.

Question:  is anybody, anywhere, setting up an archive for PPD files that
allows unhidered access to them?  No copyright, redistribution, etc., problems?
If so,  then I will add the magic to ifhp:

[ printer ]
ppd_file /path_to_ppd_file

LPRng: silly windows printer object

2003-08-05 Thread David Bear
I'm trying to take a 'generic' windows printer object, and send its
output to lprng via the windows tcpip print services.  One thing that
I've notices is that the 'generic' printer object seems to truncate
output at column 112.  This is rather unfortunate as I have 188
columns to print.  Truncating appears consistent regardless of
anything, ie there is no way to set margins, paper size, default font,
etc (in the printer object)

Anyone seen this?

More important, can anyone tell me how to make a printer object that
just passes 'text' through it?  I'll rely on lprng/ifhp/foomatic or my
own filter to handle the text.

Heh, true. This is of course why you never should allow printer settings
to have precedence over settings supplied over port 9100.

But students also stop messing around if there is enough work or chance
they get caught. Students are lazy by nature.
