LPRng: jetdirect errors

2004-03-17 Thread David Bear
I have a jetdirect J3111A card.  It seems to constantly crash dump,
even when NO print jobs are being sent to it.  Yesterday, I updated
the firmware using the jetadmin tool from HP.  Still no improvement.

This is exception 0004
firmware rev g.05.35

I don't think the register dump would be terrible useful but will
post it if needed.

The interface is plugged into an hp laserjet 4600 (color) but it seems
that just sitting on the network will cause this.

anyone have any advice?

Re: LPRng: lpc -a status doesn't seem to work, but lpc -Pname status does

How about 

lpc status all

 Hi there,
 
 I am seeing a problem where 'lpc -a status' doesn't work, but
 referring to printers individually does.  Here's an example to
 clarify:
 
 [kant]toby: lpc -a status
 [EMAIL PROTECTED]: spool queue for 'fh2' does not exist on server kant.inf.ed.ac.uk
non-existent printer or you need to run 'checkpc -f'
 [EMAIL PROTECTED]: spool queue for 'jc4' does not exist on server kant.inf.ed.ac.uk
non-existent printer or you need to run 'checkpc -f'
 
 ... and so on and on for all the printers in our printcap.
 
 Whereas if I refer to them individually
 
 [kant]toby: lpc -Pfh2 status
  Printer   Printing Spooling Jobs  Server Subserver Redirect Status/(Debug)
 [EMAIL PROTECTED]  enabled  enabled0nonenone
 [kant]toby: lpc -Pjc4 status
  Printer   Printing Spooling Jobs  Server Subserver Redirect Status/(Debug)
 [EMAIL PROTECTED]   enabled  enabled0nonenone jc4c
 
 Firstly, it's probably important to note that our printcap entry is
 actually a program (all our printcap details are stored in LDAP).  So
 in our lpd.conf, we have:
 
 printcap_path=| -$ /usr/bin/pcap-query
 
 So, for some reason the lpc -a is failing, although it's clearly
 getting the list of queuenames correctly as I get a message for them
 all.
 
 'echo all|pcap-query' works as specified too.
 
 Can anyone help here?
 
 Many thanks

LPRng: a bit off topic, but just a bit

2003-12-15 Thread David Bear
I would like to put my printers on a private lan -- ie non-routed ip
addresses.  Then using lprng running on bsd spool jobs to them.  While
getting lprng to work doesn't present a challenge, I would like to be
able to use the web management interfaces on these printers.

So, I was thinking of some kind of proxy web server that I could also
run along with lprng.  The idea would be to rewrite incoming requests
to lpserver.asu.edu/hp8100 to 192.168.10.10:80 and proxy them thru.

I admit, this sound rather strange... but since we cannot really
control our network here, I thought I would at least control the
network in our rooms where our servers are.

any comments form experience would be appreciated..

thanks.

LPRng: permissions on /var/spool/printer

2003-12-02 Thread David Bear
I would like to have a queue administrator that is not root.  I
noticed that lpd runs a su 'daemon' and that /var/spool/lpd/.. is
owned by daemon and group daemon.  Yet the perms set on /var/spool/lpd
are 700.  If I set perms to 770 and then put a user in the daemon
group would that enable that person to be a 'printer admin', ie use
lpc to hold, flush, release queues?

another debugging thing that helps with samba it to set its log level

1) if you have xp personal firewall turned on, it may block out samba

2) access denials in samba can be due to the permissions on the print

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.

i don't know about efficiency, buy port 9100 is a direct socket into
the print engine, ergo, it doesn't get put into another queuing system
like lpd -- and it doesn't require any protocol handler like smb (and

Re: LPRng: Ricoh Afico 350e

 Can someone help me find a working config for a Ricoh Afico 350e printer

we have two aficio copy machine/printers, a 340 and a 1055.  Both
printer manuals claimed the machines could handle postscript.  Yet,
when I went to see if this was handled via a queue name like raw or
ps or pcl, I could never determine exactly how -- so I ended up
just sending pcl to the printers.  the aficio documentation is really
lousy!!!  And their network attachment is really poor -- I could not
find any way in either machine to create hosts-allow/deny lists, and
neither one use appsocket -- only the standard plethora of lousy
protocols like netbios, ipx, appletalk and lpd...

LPRng: win2k print wierdness

2001-12-07 Thread David Bear


This is the strangest error I have run across.

We've been using lprng for 3 years? with NT4 clients, printing through
samba to linux servers running lprng.  I dont use ifhp as I never needed
any kind of translation.  The nt print drivers produced the postscript,
when lprng happily send to the hp and phaser printers via appsocket.

Enter win2000.  As soon as we loaded up win2k box with all our apps, and
attempt to print, we get continually postscript errors out the printers.
Sometimes its a timeout error, sometimes its a stack error, sometimes its
and undefined symbol.  The point is, the error is NOT consistent for the
same machine same print job, same application.  (using wordperfect, word,
and excel, and occasional pdf)  We thought we had bad hardware.  No, we
reproduced it on a second box.

so, we attempt different printing methods from the win2k box:

1) print direct to hp8100 via lpt1.  works
2) print to file, the lpr the file to hp8100.  BAD
3) print to file, copy file to lpt1.  works
4) print to file, then netcat the file to hp8100.  WORKS

Now, I don't know what difference there is between netcating the
postscript file to the printer and lpr'ing the file as passthrough to the
printer.  But, there's the rub.  LPRng is doing something, and only to
postscript generated by win2k clients

Let me emphasize that we have had our samba server and lpr spooler setup
for almost 3 years printing from NT 4 clients WITHOUT problem!!

So, for the brave guru who would like to tell me what I've done wrong, I'm
attaching the relevant portion of the printcap file.  Also, a graphic to
explain what I enumerated above.

Can anyone tell me why win2k produced postscript would choke on my setup?

Re: LPRng: spooling to windows lpd

2001-11-21 Thread David Bear


you didn't mention if this was 2000. On NT4, the following helped me.

SYMPTOMS


When a formatted job prints from a line printer remote (LPR) client to a
Windows NT computer that is running the Line Printing Demon (LPD) services,

PCL or PostScript codes are printed instead of a properly formatted
document.

RESOLUTION
==

The LPD service can be reconfigured to ignore the format control command
from the LPR client and always assign the RAW datatype. Use one of the
appropriate sections below to reconfigure the LPD service.

NOTE: This setting is not available for a single printer. This setting
affects all printers on the Windows NT Server that are receiving print jobs
from LPR clients. Print jobs from non-LPR clients are not affected by this
setting.

Configuring SimulatePassThrough In Windows NT 4.0
-

For Windows NT 4.0 to assign the RAW datatype, regardless of the
control file contents, do the following:

WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious, system-
wide problems that may require you to reinstall Windows NT to correct
them. Microsoft cannot guarantee that any problems resulting from the
use of Registry Editor can be solved. Use this tool at your own risk.

1. Run Registry Editor (REGEDT32.EXE).

2. From the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE subtree, go to the following key:

\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LPDSVC\Parameters

3. On the Edit menu, click Add Value.

4. Add the following:

Value Name: SimulatePassThrough
Data Type: REG_DWORD
Data: 1

NOTE: The default value is 0, which informs LPD to assign datatypes
according to the control commands.

 As per windows FAQ, if you wish to spool to windows lpd server l
 cahracter must be passed to windows lpd for passing the job directly to
 printer. Following is the text from Microsoft site

 The Windows NT LPD Service follows the RFC1179 specification. This
 states that the LPR client must tell the LPD server how to handle the
 print job. If the client formats the job, it must send the l control
 character to instruct the LPD server to print the job without any
 alteration.


 How can I make LPRng lpd server send 'l' character. Without this,
 windows lpd prints the actual postscript I sent to the lpd server.

 Here is my printcap entry. I am using LPRng-3.7.4:
