accurate accounting without delay (Was: Re: LPRng: Username spoofing...)

I read most of your paper, and you seem to be doing what we're trying to do, namely: - counting pages successfully printed by the printer, not pages in the job - use SNMP instead of proprietary solutions to collect info from the printer The problem I have is that synchronous printing and page counting causes a 17 second delay between jobs, due to the time taken between end of spooling and the first page coming out, which is due to the long paper path of our HP LaserJet 8150. I've drawn a diagram: http://www.dcs.warwick.ac.uk/~csuwf/printing.pdf (there's a .ps too) I have a solution currently being developed which involves using PJL to set the PJL-job-name of the job to the job-id (integer) from the print server. A filter will do this, then fork. The parent will return (so the server can immediately send the next job to the printer) and the child will be left alone to collect info from the printer about how the job did as and when it appears. This should enable accurate job-based page counting, which means fast asynchronous printing with no delay associated with the paper path being emptied and refilled. If anyone is interested in this, or has already implemented it, please let me know. Ashley GC.

I think that is the same issue I am having. Using the laserjetIII .v53 filter from win2k seemed to fix that particualr problem for me. I believe it has something to do with embedded graphics. If you have some test print jobs that don't print correctly I would like to see those. I am having a hard time isolating the particular documents that cause this problem. - 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: HP8150 crashes (79.00FE) - reproducable!
Well, after several years I've finally been able to consistently reproduce the 79.00FE crashes on our 8150. I'm already dealing with HP to try and get them to admit it's a problem with the printer! Can anyone else who has an 8150 try this on their machine? I'd really like to know if this crashes other 8150s. The file contains only PJL stuff - it doesn't actually print anything! If you print the file without any further processing and then have another status message (ie Tray 3 Open, Toner Low) the printer will crash. You can even use the lpd or ftp daemons on the printer. The results are the same. What I've done in testing is open a paper tray a couple of seconds after the processing light stops blinking or just leave a paper tray open! Any idea why this particular combination of PJL fsck's the printer? mATT * A neurotic worries about going crazy, but never will A psychotic IS crazy, but doesn't worry about it! ...
