/lpd/venlo:\ :lf=log: rm=venlo calls out the hostname of the PC. rp=lp calls out the name of the print queue on the PC. In this case, venlo is also the name of LPRng's queue. You'll want to reapply your latest NT service pack soon after installing the TCP/IP Printing service

Could be a problem with the permissions for your spooling directory, /var/spool/lpd/lp. LPRng has a utility, checkpc, for managing your spooling directories. Try running "checkpc -f" as root. Phillip Griffith (803) 952-8776 Information Technology Department Westinghouse Sava

with care when operating with non-LPRng software. The latest version of LPRng should be stable enough to load up two queues. With only two queues, LPRng isn't going to stress the server, unless you stress LPRng. Phillip Griffith (803) 952-8776 Information Technology Department Westing

Try moving the filter out of the spool directory /var/spool/lpd. One customary location for filters is /usr/local/lib/filters. Make sure the filter can be executed by daemon, and update the printcap to refer to the new location. (I can't help with the open_gdbm problem, sorry.) Ph

Be sure you're actually running LPRng. The customary install location is /usr/local/bin/lpd. If you run lpd -V, it should tell you "Version LPRng-3.7.4". If -D10 doesn't produce any diagnostic output, that makes me think you're running some other lpd. Phillip
