Re: LPRng: Cups LPRng
Hi Craig, OK that's simple but will the cups clients also be abler to remove jobs and see the queue with their native cups versions of 'lpq' and 'lprm' ? cheers ~christoph On Fri, 4 Feb 2005, Craig Small wrote: On Mon, Jan 24, 2005 at 12:37:13PM +0100, Longina Przybyszewska wrote: Does anyone has experience with CUPS client and LPRng server? I done this before. Cups clients should produce a job and do all filtering and option setting, than send a job as 'raw' to the printer server who does all accounting and printing after recognizing type of job . I'm confused because you say the cups clients filter then send the job as raw. I assume that the cups clients filter and send the cooked job to the lprng server which should do no more further filtering. It's pretty simple to do. First setup lprng to talk to the printers and make sure you can remotely print in lpd.perms. Then tell the cups clients there is a lpd printer over on that LPRng server... Make sure lprng configuration doesn't have any filters. If you do have some clients that need filters then have a raw printer item that talks to the printer itself and a filtering printer that bounces the job to the raw printer item. - Craig -- Craig Small GnuPG:1C1B D893 1418 2AF4 45EE 95CB C76C E5AC 12CA DFA5 Eye-Net Consulting http://www.enc.com.au/ MIEE Debian developer csmall at : enc.com.au ieee.org debian.org - YOU MUST BE A LIST MEMBER IN ORDER TO POST TO THE LPRng MAILING LIST The address you post from or your Reply-To address 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.

Re: LPRng: PDF problems
Hi Keith,
I think this has changed from version 3.5.1 or so, but in 3.5.1 or later
you should find this in the ifhp.conf:
...
## Set console message during job
## This is also used as a unique string to identify job
## values you want - \%s{n} is user name -
#pjl_ready_msg = \%s{n} \%s{J}:\%s{P}
pjl_ready_msg = \%s{n}
## Set console message when job is done
## Set this to empty string if you do not want a ready message
## at end of job
#pjl_done_msg = Done: \%s{n} \%s{J}:\%s{P}
pjl_done_msg = I'm ready
e# maximum number of characters on the console display for messages
pjl_display_size= 20
## expand the following on startup, after the builtin
pjl_init=[ ustatus teoj ]
## expand the following on termination, after the builtin
pjl_term=[ ustatus teoj ]
...
best regards
~christoph

We had the 79.00FE problems with pdfs on our hp8150s. Turning off the job
status string to the LCD display fixed the problem. It was actually
the format of the job name acrobat sent that caused the problem. This
may be fixed in more recent firmware.

Re: LPRng: HP Color LJ 4500 blank pages
Hi Dan,
hmm, we don't have those anymore for quite a while and I never worked on
them myself :-( But I know that you have to push the menu button for quite
a while until the 'reset menu' appears. This had to be done after the
replacement of the ITB so maybe this will also rest the counter (?)
Did you try to reset the pagecount in the service mode ?
Someone else who runs HP4500s should know, come on guys !

Thank you... it does appear to be the printer some of the time since some

I've tried a cold reset and that didn't reset the drum life low

left of drum.
So... Is there a way to reset the sensor on the drum and/or transfer kit?
or reset what the printer thinks? I dont see any resets on the readout
menus, or through the jet direct web interface.
I'm not sure what the hardware problem may be since there's still life left
on both pieces. Typically the first printout every morning results in
spewing blank pages until I turn it off. Turning it back on and resetting
the queue usually fixes it, but this morning I did that 5 times and still
printed blanks.
You mention So you can either reset the pagecount in the service menu or
reset the ITB unit: pull out the middle draw and the ITB (transfer belt) is
right in front of u.
I dont set anywhere to reset the pagecount in a service menu. And how do I
reset the ITB unit? I pulled it out and didn't see anything obvious to
reset other than cleaning the toner density sensor.
The service manual didn't provide any clues either.
Thanks so much!

It thinks the ITB transfer kit needs to be replaced. The percentages
displayed are estimates from the formatter while the actual indication of
life over comes from a sensor on the ITB assembly itself. So you can
either reset the pagecount in the service menu or reset the ITB unit: pull
out the middle draw and the ITB (transfer belt) is right in front of u.
Maybe a cold reset would be fine also (hold the start button while
powering on the printer.

Re: LPRng:
Hi Rbaig, SAMBA implements the server message block protocol for LINUX it is mainly used to let a LINUX box behave as a (better) windows server. But ther is no problem in using it the other way round, there is a couple of client utilities in the SAMBA suite you can use to talk to WINDOWS machines. For your purpose take a look at: http://pachome1.pacific.net.sg/~harish/linuxprint.html I think this is a good description how to solve your problem. Your printcap in general looks OK for me, try to put :filter=/usr/lib/ifhp/ifhp instead of: :if=/usr/lib/ifhp/ifhp This is a LPRng extension and means mainly that the filter will be used for any incoming data format. If this still does no good, well try :translate_incoming_format=lf:\ Just for in case your incoming jobs have the 'binary flag' in the control file set... hope this helps ~christoph -- /* Christoph Beyer | Office: Building 2b / 23 *\ * DESY|Phone: 040-8998-2317* * - IT - | Fax: 040-8998-4060* \* 22603 Hamburg | http://www.desy.de */ On Wed, 22 Jan 2003 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Dear sirs, This is a extremely newbie question (from a newbie user), but after reading a lot (LPRng, printcap, IFHP, samba) and make my mind a mess, I decided to submit my problem to this mail list to try to obtain a guideline to solve it.

Hello Joel and Jim, One question to ask the Lanier folks would be where the print controller of the copier/printer collects the job name from when it processes a job. Your discussion to date has assumed that it is getting the data from the LPD daemon running on the print controller parsing the control file generated by LPRng when the job is transferred through Samba to the printer. It is also possible the accounting function of the copier/printer is reading header information (PostScript or PJL) in each actual received job to find the user instead of the LPRng control file. If this turned out to be true, it would explain why the changes you were testing didn't have any effect at the copier/printer. Just a thought...

Now I use a cron job to remove them and free harddisk space every 3 hours. But I think the problem should be solved in the codes. By the way, there's a same problem for ifhp. The done data files are left by ifhp, too. But I haven't traced it yet, since my company use samba printing without a print filter. I just list it here in case that it helps. I'm using 2 print servers. One is our company server: LPRng 3.8.19, Linux 2.4.20, Mandrake 8.1, gcc 3.2, glibc 2.2.4, Intel Pentium 133, 32MB ram, 2GB harddisk. The other is my home server: LPRng 3.8.19, ifhp 3.5.10, Linux 2.4.20, Debian 3.0r0, gcc 3.2, glibc 2.3.1, Intel Pentium III 800, 896MB ram, 20GB harddisk.

Hi!
Thanks for the reply. Checkpc told me which files I needed to create (why
the daemon would not create them itself is beyond me), and I also found out
that I was looking at the wrong ifhp.conf all the time :-(
I can no see this in the printer status:
sending job file at 15:58:11.423
starting transfer at 15:58:11.423
job is PostScript and PostScript not supported at 15:58:11.424
The job as sent is HPGL, and the queue is configured as a bounce queue,
both of which ends should do essentially nothing (they call ifhp and ofhp,
resp.) This is the relevant portion of ifhp.conf:
[ hpdj500c ]
pjl_only=[
COMMENT ECHO ENTER
INFO
USTATUS USTATUSOFF
]
ps@
pcl@
pagecount@
file_output_match = [
* raw
]
So ifhp should just pass everything on unfiltered.
I'm appending a log file from the filter script, I'd be grateful if somebody
could take a look at it and tell me where HPGL turns into PS (or even just
how to capture some more diags from ifhp, or the intermediate file from the
bounce queue).
Thanks!

Hi Christian,
what looks your printcap like ?
If you don't get any debug output you probably don't use the
local spool queue but send the job directly to the printer.
Try to set force_localhost in the printcap and run 'checkpc
-f printcap' to make sure all the necessary files get created...

Hi!
I need some help with setting up a HP Plotter. The plotter is a
Designjet500ps with a Jetdirect print server and HPGL/RTL accessory
card.
There is a set of filter scripts here that will rasterize plot data
and generate RTL output. I've also tried just plotting raw HPGL.
In each case (HPGL or RTL), I can plot by bypassing the
spool system
with a scriptlet like this:
#!/bin/sh
ifhp=model=hpdj500c
/usr/local/ifhp/3.4.1/libexec/filters/ifhp
-Tdev=ew111shpp1%9100,trace,debug=3,${ifhp} plotme.hpg
2/tmp/trace
However, when I try to use the spooler, I only get an 1
inch band from
RTL plots, and HPGL plots just disappear.
The ifhp Howto suggests lpq - to check the filter
status, that
does not give me any more information than plain lpq.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
TIA,
Christian

Re: LPRng: 2 print servers both spooling to one physical printer
Hi Toby, I think I have good news for you :-) There is a somehow not documented failover feature in LPRNG which works just perfect for your case I think (I use it with 2500 UNIX clients and have no problems). You can put a list of servers in the client printcap: 'rm=spooler1, spooler2, spooler3' if spooler1 is not available, spooler2 will be tried and so on... Of course it will not work if spooler1 is somehow internally 'broken' but still accepts jobs, but as soon as it does not accept a job the failover will take place... hope this helps, best regards ~christoph -- /* Christoph Beyer | Office: Building 2b / 23 *\ * DESY|Phone: 040-8998-2317* * - IT - | Fax: 040-8998-4060* \* 22603 Hamburg | http://www.desy.de */ On Wed, 13 Nov 2002, Toby Blake wrote: I'd like to say thanks for all the replies to this, it seems to me that this is probably not the sort of thing that I would like to do on a long term basis, but would be fine in the short term. I'll explain why I want to do this. We have a system whereby I would like to easily swap one print server in to take the place of another one, for maintenance, upgrade or whatever. This could be done in one of two ways - either change the printcap information held in LDAP, or change the print server alias to point to another machine, e.g. host1 has an alias of print1, host2 has an alias of print2 - if I want to take host2 down, I can change the print2 alias to point to host1. The trouble is, our system uses ldap and dns servers on every local machine which sync with the masters every hour (different machines will sync at different times to reduce the load). This means that any changes made to ldap or dns will take between 1 and 60 minutes to propagate to any one host. So, in the example above, in the one-hour period after changing the alias, I need both host1 and host2 to be able to spool to the same printers, as various clients will resolve print2 differently.

Re: LPRng: 2 print servers both spooling to one physical printer
Hey Toby, this might be a bad idea because of locking problems, if one spooler has a hanging connection or is performing a long timeout (WINDOWS !!!) the printer is unavailable for the second spooler. Also if you got 100 jobs in one queue on one server the job on the second server will most likely wait for a long time because the printer port will not get unlocked during printing the 1000 jobs from the first server. Generally it probably depends on your local environment wether you will have problems or not. The advantadge thow is that you can put rm=spooler1,spooler2:\ in the client printcap so that the client will try the second server if the first one is unavailable (groovy, hidden failover feature) best regards ~christoph -- /* Christoph Beyer | Office: Building 2b / 23 *\ * DESY|Phone: 040-8998-2317* * - IT - | Fax: 040-8998-4060* \* 22603 Hamburg | http://www.desy.de */ On Thu, 31 Oct 2002, Toby Blake wrote: Very quick question: is there any reason why this shouldn't be done?

Re: LPRng: Job count saturation?
Hi, I'm using SOLARIS 7 on a E250 with LPRng 3.8.3 and it easily handles several hundreds of jobs without any of the described problems (well at least I never recognised anything alike) I think this might be a bug in an older version of LPRng (?) best regards ~christoph -- /* Christoph Beyer | Office: Building 2b / 23 *\ * DESY|Phone: 040-8998-2317* * - IT - | Fax: 040-8998-4060* \* 22603 Hamburg | http://www.desy.de */ On Tue, 1 Oct 2002, Greg Trounson wrote: Greetings, I have a production RedHat7.1 server running LPRng-3.7.4-22, serving two HP 4MVs in a laboratory of 30 PCs. At peak times, there may be 30 people trying to print two jobs each through the server, resulting in 60 jobs on the print queue. When the number of jobs gets this high, the print server appears to slow to a crawl. The printers both sit pretty much idle, leisurely printing a page every minute or so. This morning, the job turnaround time (time from when someone clicked 'print' to when the paper came out of the printer) had reached 75 minutes(!). CPU usage on the server is minimal (load average below 1.0), memory usage is about 70%, it doesn't touch the swap partition, and there is plenty of free disk space on all partitions. The hard drive is going full-steam though. It seems that it is continuously reading/writing the /var/spool/lpd/lp directory, which now consists of sixty or so 20KB print jobs. A check of /proc/interrupts reveals that the hard drive is communicating at about 100 interrupts per second. The system remains in this state (printing out about a page per minute and thrashing the disk while even more jobs accumulate) until people stop sending jobs and the queue eventually falls below perhaps fifty jobs. The remaining jobs are then rapidly processed and the quese empties in a couple of minutes. Is there a known limit to the number of jobs that LPRng can handle? Does it attempt to somehow sort the spool files on the disk whenever a new job arrives (this is the only reason I can think of that the hard disk would be thrashing), and if so, why? In accordance with advice on this list, I have since added all the lab machines to the server's /etc/hosts file. I'm not sure how much that will help in this case, but it's sensible, nonetheless. thank you in advance for any help, Greg - 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.

Re: LPRng: vanishing jobs in the queues
Hi Akop, I think there was some trouble with vanishing printjobs in a few older releases.

Lots of people started complaining that printing has become unreliable. Often, a document has to be sent to printed twice or even three times before it prints out. This has been happening with our HP8150, HP4000, and probably other printer types. The print server runs LPRng-3.8.15 on Solaris 2.6. The Solaris clients use sysv lp system to send jobs to the LPRng server. Linux client use LPRng-3.6.26 version of lpr command (using lightweight mode). I was able to reproduce this problem from Linux and Solaris clients. Our users who try to print from MacOS X 10.1.5 to the LPRng server also are saying that their jobs are often vanishing.

Re: LPRng: How can a job be hold in the queue when destinationprinter is switched off?
Hi Thorsten, this sounds fairly easy :-) There is a parameter in your lpd.conf file: [printsrv3] /usr/spool/samba $ grep send_try ~lp/etc/lpd.conf # Purpose: failure action to take after send_try attempts failed # default send_try=3 (INTEGER) send_try=0 '0' means try infinite which is probably exactly what you expect, you can set this 'globally' for all queues in the lpd.conf file or put it in the printcap for some queues only.

I am sending to the 'ps' queue on the printer (it accepts PostScript and

I send it using 'ifhp' as my filter, it does what I said before.

Re: LPRng: Print jobs stalling
hi, this could possibly be a 3.8.4 problem. try 3.8.3 if you don't mind, the configuration looks OK to me... take care ~christoph On Tue, 29 Jan 2002, Antony Healey wrote: Hi, I'm having an issue trying to run fairly current versions of LPRng (3.8.4) and ifhp (3.5.3). The problem creeps in when I add :ifhp=model=hp8150 :filter=/local/apps/lprng/filters/ifhp If I don't use filter= at all, then the job will print. ASCII jobs do the carriage return stepping problem.

Re: LPRng: Socket Printing and Runaway Processes
hi, I have a similar problem when I use IFHP filter, in my opinion it has something todo with the waitend_interval. But as you don't seem to use IFHP my problem might as well be triggered by the lpd itself because I have exactly the same symptoms. Did you play with the socket options in the lpd.conf: # Purpose: exit linger timeout to wait for socket to close # default exit_linger_timeout=600 (INTEGER) # Purpose: set the SO_LINGER socket option # default socket_linger=10 (INTEGER) # Purpose: do a 'half close' on socket when sending job to remote printer # default half_close (FLAG on) regards ~christoph On Tue, 15 Jan 2002, Russell Adams wrote: I'm experiencing some issues with socket printing to terminal servers and jet-direct boxes and runaway lpd processes. Everything prints fine until either the printer runs out of paper, or a user turns off the printer during the print. Netstat reports the connection as CLOSED with data still waiting to send to the printer, and the lpd subserver process is consuming all available CPU time. LPQ reports that there was a JWRERR and then multiple JTIMEOUT errors and waiting for subserver to exit messages. The queue remains stalled with the subserver running away indefinitely, until an lpc kill is performed and the queue is restarted. Any ideas? I'm quite stumped. Perhaps there is a timeout that I could use to force it to retry after the connection is lost? I'm running LPRng v3.8.4 on an Alphaserver DS10 w/ RedHat 7.0 for Alpha.

Files which go to through the bounce queue end up in the spool directory for the second print queue all nicely massaged by IFHP (PJL headers, printer LCD display message, etc.). The file command reports that all of them are HP Printer Job Language data. There is some underlying communications problem. The only obvious difference between the server machine and the client machines is the hardware. The server is a Compaq DS20 (Alpha EV6 CPU). The clients are Digital AlphaStation 600 (Alpha EV5), Digital AlphaServer 800 (Alpha EV5) and Compaq DS10 (Alpha EV6) machines. All are running the same version of the OS: Compaq Tru64 Unix 5.1a.

Re: LPRng: Stalled printjobs by printing with these print serverboxes
hi, I'm using various networkinterfaces like lantronics etc and never experienced any problems. Are you sure you are using the lpr port on the box ?

Re: LPRng: another stupid question
On Wed, 9 Jan 2002, David Bear wrote: After going through the lprng how-to I'm still a little (no a lot) uncertain about if ifhp is using by the client, or the server. Most of my print jobs originate from windows clients -- so they are already in a print dependant language. In this case ifhp is completely extraneous, right? Usually the filter is working on the server, because otherwise you would have to maintain the package on every client. When you look into the ifhp.conf file in the first part which contains the 'global' settings you will find the 'file_output_match' table. Depending on the incoming file format a format to convert to is defined. If your printer speaks postscript and your windows clients produce postscript you will go through the table and not convert the file. Though it is nice to use the filter anyway, because many things like duplex or transparency printing are predefined. If so, then what about accounting. Is ifhp need to get page counts? no Finally, I know the lpd server can 'deliver' the print job direct to appsocket -- but then it appears that ifhp can do that as well. If so, and ifhp is used by the client, is a server needed at all? The socket implementation on the printer is often very bad and so it is on many clients, that's one reason why you will probably not let all the clients fight for the same printer. WINDOWS clients e.g. perform a 10 min timeout on the printerport after a job, which means nobody else can use it during that time. I guess the swiss army knife approach of ifhp is just causing me to think too much... but what I would like to see is a more modular approach -- where 'delivery' to the print is handled my a well defined 'interface?'... So that you can the 'plug in' additional 'delivery' methods -- /dev/lp0, appsocket, serial, ipp are the obvious ones today. I guess in my attempt to oversimplify I picture the following: 1) send raw file to ifhp for formatting to correct printer langauge 2) ifhp sends to lp (rfc1179) for spooling 3) lpd sends spool jobs to a 'delivery' module which encapsulate all the semantics of whatever delivery mechanism is used and returns whatever is 'possibly' from the delivery language, ie handles control flow, return codes form printers include pages printed, and any other printer status. Would be great if it could grab info like jetadmin gives such as which trays are empty, amount of toner, etc. that's what it works like usually: client sends job to server lpd puts job in queue lpd takes first job in queue hands it to the conversion tool (defined in the printcap e.g. ifhp) lpd gets output back lpd sends output to printer (or ifhp itself sends the job to the printer) lpd gets status from printer during printing and displays it via lpq regards ~christoph Have I totally missed the boat? -- David Bear College of Public Programs/ASU 480-965-8257 ...the way is like water, going where nobody wants it to go - 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: SAMBA - printer driver and windows forms
hi, I still have the problem described below, the drivers on the SAMBA server are predefined correctly, the standard settings for documents are set to 'A4' thoughi tdoesn't work :-( I'm using SAMBA 2.2.0 and LPRng 3.8.3 on SOLARIS 2.7 to offer printservice for ~2.300 NT 4.0 clients. Everything works fine, I use the feature to preconfigure the NT drivers on the printserver which makes my NT clients think they talk to a NT server :-) The most annoying problem is that the SAMBA server doesn't know the paper size A4 (which is the default format in europe). Though the driver comes with 'A4' as default format from the server the NT clients change the entry to 'A4 small' or 'letter' I think because they don't find the 'A4 forms' entry in the registry. Using the server properties card from a NT box I can add forms to the server but not a 'A4' called form, because it exists already and I don't have the right to replace or change it (I have admin rights on the NT machine).

Re: LPRng: Zero Byte data file from client - always
hi, you can definetely print to lprng from any system as long as you don't violate the RFC1179 to much. Simply make a connection to port 515 and there you go ! regards ~christoph On Mon, 7 Jan 2002, Joel Hammer wrote: I don't think is it possible to service non-unix clients without installing samba. All samba really does for you in a printing situation is transfer the printfile to a temp file on your Solaris server and run your print command to process that file. I don't know anything about Macs but windows clients do fine with samba. When you set up samba, keep it really simple to start with. Just set up one printer share at first, and be explicit with the commands required to print in the printer share definition. Remember, the printer command is what you tell samba, so you can make the samba server do anything you want with the temp file. As well as any other tasks you might want to happen during printing. BTW, you seem to be suffering from task overload, which is a name used to describe what happened to fighter pilots in WWII when there was too much happening around them to keep track of and they became disoriented during a dogfight. The results were what you might expect. I would first install samba on your Solaris server, and throughly test it out from the Solaris server. You can put the printing and file shares through their paces without having to use a networked client, Solaris or otherwise. Once that all works, then try printing from the networked non-unix clients. Remember, windows clients will do their own filtering of the print job. Your solaris server will likely simply dump the printfile to the printer using a queue which has no print filter or whose print filter does not try to format the job. Keep it simple. For example, at first, install the printing software locally on your clients, don't try to configure your server to download the software to your clients at the start. This stuff is all really simple once you see what is going on. If you need some help with print filters, and you really shouldn't to print from windows clients, read my write up of filters with LPRng at the linux stepbystep site. http://linux.nf/stepbystep.html Search for filters hammer.

Re: LPRng: More on duplexing behavior
hi, firts you must turn on the duplex feature in the menu of the printer, if IFHP is configured correctly you should now get some duplex output by using lpr -Zduplex -Pprinter. If you are printing a postscript file which insists on being a 'single-side-file' you will probably not succeed. If a simple ascii file doesnt't make it to duplex you should put something in the ifhp.conf section of your printertype.

LPRng: SAMBA - printer driver and windows forms
hi, I'm using SAMBA 2.2.0 and LPRng 3.8.3 on SOLARIS 2.7 to offer printservice for ~2.300 NT 4.0 clients. Everything works fine, I use the feature to preconfigure the NT drivers on the printserver which makes my NT clients think they talk to a NT server :-) The most annoying problem is that the SAMBA server doesn't know the paper size A4 (which is the default format in europe). Though the driver comes with 'A4' as default format from the server the NT clients change the entry to 'A4 small' or 'letter' I think because they don't find the 'A4 forms' entry in the registry. Using the server properties card from a NT box I can add forms to the server but not a 'A4' called form, because it exists already and I don't have the right to replace or change it (I have admin rights on the NT machine). To me it looks like if I see a mixture in the dialogue between the forms on the SAMBA server and lokal forms that come probably with NT.

This problem has been plaguing us for a few days now.
After many many many recompiles and tinkering, we came to a rather
interesting conclusion:
If we run lp or lpr without a fully-qualified queue name, then for some
reason the print job does not get filtered through ifhp, and none of the
accounting information is updated in the /var/lpd/log/printername.acct file.
However if we use a fully-qualified name, everything works!
Example:
lpr -Pmyprinter ./printcap
.. will produce a stair-stepped printout of the printcap file, and nothing
gets written to /var/lpd/log/myprinter.acct. However, calling lpr like
this:
lpr -Pmyprinter@localhost ./printcap
... works just fine! The output gets filtered through ifhp (and through
a2ps respectively) and the accounting file is updated. This is very
strange, and since we have a large number of users (around 6,000) it's very
hard to tell them all that they suddenly need to use a fully-qualified name
for the printers. We're using LPRng 3.8.4 and IFHP 3.5.2. An example
excerpt from our printcap looks like this:
myprinter|MyPrinter
:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
:lf=/var/lpd/log/myprinter.errs
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/myprinter
:ifhp=model=hp8100,pagecount,sync
:filter=/usr/local/libexec/filters/ifhp
:af=/var/lpd/log/myprinter.acct
Is there something in lpd.conf or elsewhere that we can add to fix this
strange behavior? And, while we're on the subject of strange behavior,
programs such as lpc seem to be unhappy about something as well. I'm not
sure if this is related to the other problem, but for some reason lpc
reread just returns with no output and we don't know if it's sent the HUP
to lpd or not... however, if we do lpc reread all then it reports that it
sent the SIGHUP. This is just general wackiness and is very strange... and
we've been beating our heads on the wall for 3 days... any help at all is
GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks.

Re: LPRng: Sun lpq and LPRng

Re: LPRng: messages in printer display
hey,
I looked at the source a bit, there are some major changes in 3.4.7 in
the code concerning printer display messages.
As this seems to be a topic for a few people using IFHP, it would
perhaps be nice to be able to manage the whole behaviour by ifhp.conf
entrys. Something like 'message at start of printjob', 'message during
printing', 'message at end of printjob' and perhaps the general
behaviour, but I think that the constant display of '$message during
printing' while processing and printing the job is much better than the
'processing blah from blah' message of the printengine...
Is there any chance to realize something alike ?
take care

Re: LPRng: hp8100dn long ps
hi, I defined the spooldirectory in the global lpd.conf file (/usr/../%P) where %P gets expanded to the printername. Did you try to send the ps file directly to the printer: lpr [EMAIL PROTECTED] ? You can try all available ports on the printer like this to see if there are fast and slow ones. If it still takes as long to get the job printed it's probably the printer having problems (the 81xx series from HP is a mess in every sense). In that case you could try some tuning of the jetdirect card (IO buffer etc) but I'm not a specialist in that.

Re: LPRng: Multiple copies
hi, thanks for your help, I have been thinking about somethinge like that. But I ran these printers for some years with a bunch of shell scripts as a filter without any problems, so I thought there might be something in the IFHP filter that triggers this stuff. I'm also worried a bit because the number of default copies is written in the flashrom of the printer and I experienced that after a certain number of write accesses the flashrom breaks and is not writeable anymore. Thank you for the piece of postscript anyway, I will put it in the filter and then just let them run as long as they work ;-) By the way my shell-script filters are heavily using the hpnp commandline tool but it seems to have disappeared from the HP website, they probably think that webjetadmin is a replacement (?) thank you very much !!! take care ~christoph On Fri, 2 Nov 2001, Jim Easton wrote: christoph beyer wrote: but I actually mean something different: after a while the default number of copies entry in the internal printer menu is set to e.g. 13 copies, which automatically results in 13 copies of every job you send. This is probably done by some pjl string but I don't know which one and where it comes from I can suggest where it might be coming from: The number of copies can be set by the postscript file. Likely a user has asked for 13 copies. Naturally the postscript doesn't set it back and that leaves the printer with /NumCopies set. If LPRng doesn't have a option with which you can force, or at least default, the number of copies to 1 you could send it the following postscript file. %! /NumCopies 1 setpagedevice As an interesting note: years ago our administrator decreed that multiple copies were not allowed because photocopying was cheaper. (In fact it was - by quite a bit) Since this didn't cut no ice with the users I ended up putting a catch in the filter which forbad the setting of /NumCopies - complaints predictable. This did not however prevent some enterprising sole (sic.) from setting the console to multiple copies. Of course he didn't set it back - they never do - and after that we got several copies of every job. :-( So I added a default of one. That worked just fine until one day people were telling me that one of our printers was printing two copies of the banner - I had forgotten to default the banner too - sigh.

LPRng: IFHP loops
hi Patrick, I still have some problems with IFHP looping and blocking the printer, I changed the 'waitend_interval=10' which was a big improvement. But as soon as something abnormal happens, like the printer gets offline during job transfer e.g. IFHP goes into a loop consuming 50% or more of my cpu. In the situation below the job is not printed, probably because of postscript errors (?) What happens from time to time. After a while the job gets cancelled on the display (by the user) and a few minutes later IFHP goes into a loop... Is there any chance to fix this ??? thanks ~christoph LPRng 3.6.26 IFHP 3.4.4 printcap: r02ps10|2b_200_p1|HP_4050N PS_2 2 A4 p Gerhard Schroth, 3589:\ :lp=r02ps10%9100:\ :bp=/usr/spool/lp/filters/psbanner.load:\ :of=/usr/libexec/filters/ifhp:\ :ifhp=model=hp4050,debug=2:\ :filter=/usr/libexec/filters/ifhp:\ :translate_incoming_format=lf:\ :ab:\ :mx#0:\ :du#16:\ ifhp.conf: waitend_interval=10 sync@ pagecount@ lpq -L -Pr02ps10: # (1) ...
