Re: LPRng: Fatal error on pdf
It sounds like this message is coming from lpr, which means the check_for_nonprintable setting has been turned on, either in the printcap, or more likely, in /etc/lpd.conf. This setting is turned off by default. If you want to keep this setting turned on, you can bypass it on an adhoc basis by running lpr with the -l (literal) flag.

Using LRPng 3.8.26 and IFHP 3.5.17, text piped through the ifhp filter works just fine (using a2ps to convert). When I try to test printing a pdf ( lpr -Ptheprinter file.pdf) however I receive the following error message. Fatal error - cannot print 'p972.pdf': unprintable characters at start of file, check your LANG environment variable as well as the input file If I use the file command from the commandline the type I get is just fine as far as I can tell. Here is the output: p972.pdf: PDF document, version 1.3 I checked the ifhp.conf file and I do have it set to point to /usr/local/bin/file which is the version recommended in the installation instructions. I haven't added a line for a jpeg converter yet but if I attempt an lpr on a jpeg I also get the same Fatal Error message but again the type output from the file command via the commandline does indicated that it is a jpeg.

Re: LPRng: LPRng with RedHat ES
JetDirects have builtin queue names of raw and text. For the three-port models, the queue names are raw1, raw2, raw3, and text1, text2, and text3. I'm not sure which queue (raw or text) is right for you. Text adds line terminators, and raw doesn't. Assuming netq3 and netq0 are the hostnames of your JetDirects, try using the builtin queue names like this: #Printcap Information tq1|unix1 :if=/usr/share/printconf/util/mf_wrapper :mx#0 :rm=netq3.dt.uh.edu :rp=text :sd=/var/spool/lpd/tq1 :sh tq2|unix2 :if=/usr/share/printconf/util/mf_wrapper :mx#0 :rm=netq0.dt.uh.edu :rp=raw ^^^ :sd=/var/spool/lpd/tq2 :sh Phillip Griffith (803) 952-8776 Information Technology Department Westinghouse Savannah River Company Wilson, Chad [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 03/31/2004 03:42 PM Please respond to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc Subject LPRng: LPRng with RedHat ES Greetings, I am forced to move to RedHat ES 3.x becasue RH no longer supports our current 7.3 server. The old 7.3 server was running LPRng like a champ. ES however ships with CUPS as the official print server. CUPS failed to work with our old Lexmark 2491 line printers. After a week or more of trying to make the printer work, I decided to roll back to LRPng. Uninstalling CUPS was not very pretty. It had many packages that depended on it. These are the steps I went through...accordning to my bash history. # rpm -e cups # rpm -e desktop-printing # rpm -e redhat-config-printer-gui # rpm -e redhat-config-printer # rpm -e cups # rpm -qi redhat-lsb # rpm -e --force cups # rpm -ivh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i686/LPRng-3.8.26-1.i686.rpm # rpm -qi setup-2.5.27-1 # rpm -ivh --force /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i686/LPRng-3.8.26-1.i686.rpm RH complained about the first three packages. I did not remove redhat-lsb even tho it said that it required CUPS. Odd as it seemed to me, I just forced the removal of CUPS. Similarly, I had to force the install of LPRng because of some files like printcap were still registered to CUPS. After installing LPRng, I used Webmin to configure the printcap file. This was the results: tq1|unix1:mx#0:rm=netq3.dt.uh.edu:sh:sd=/var/spool/lpd/tq1:rp=tq1:if=/usr/sh are/printconf/util/mf_wrapper: tq2|unix2:mx#0:rm=netq0.dt.uh.edu:sh:sd=/var/spool/lpd/tq2:rp=tq2:if=/usr/sh are/printconf/util/mf_wrapper: The old 7.3 server used mf_wrapper, which was part of printconf package that I had to install. It depended on something called libglade that I had to install first. # ls -l /usr/share/printconf/util/mf_wrapper # rpm -qi printconf # rpmbuild --rebuild --target i686 printconf-0.3.61-4.1.src.rpm # rpm -Uvh libglade-devel-0.16-4.i386.rpm # ls -l /usr/share/printconf/util/mf_wrapper Finally I sent it an ascii test page from Webmin. The results was no output from the printers. The printers are attached to HP Jet Directs. After trying to send a non ascii test page and canceling the job, one of the print servers locked up. This was typical of what was happening with CUPS. lpq retuened the following: Printer: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 'unix1' (dest [EMAIL PROTECTED]) Queue: no printable jobs in queue Server: no server active Status: job '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' saved at 15:07:07.475 Rank Owner/ID Pr/Class Job Files Size Time error [EMAIL PROTECTED] A 128 ERROR: Mystery error from Send_job Printer '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' - cannot open connection - Connection refused Oh boy, a MYSTERY error.

I read the FAQ, browsed the web mailing list, but unfortunately didn't found an answer. The problem is quite simple. I've defined very basic printers in /etc/printcap. lp :sd=/var/spool/lp/lpd :lp=printer_FDQN%9100 :mx=0 As you can see, the entry is trivial. The printer is an HP laserjet. It is possible to send a job through the port 9100 with netcat. What happens when I launch a job is that the job is accepted by lpr, but nothing is printed. Moreover, a new lpd process is running and consumes 100% of the CPU time; it never dies and I need to 1° kill the process and 2° empty the queue. I've checked with several versions of LPRng, but no changes. Anyone an idea?

How about getting rid of the backspaces before you print the script files?

Subject:LPRng: mostly ascii file getting typed as data
I have a unique situation in which professors are dealing with files that
students create via a shell script called photo. The photo script
basically runs the Unix script command and saves the output to a
file. Usually the things they do while running the photo script are to
cat
out their programs, issue some commands and execute their programs. If
they make mistakes while typing and backspace those characters end up as
non-printable in the photo log file. These files reside on another Unix
system outside my dept. and when they are printed (currently from DEC
Unix)
they are simply handed over to my lpd. I'm using LPRng 3.7.4 and ifhp
3.4.4The problem is that even though the majority of the file is ascii
text the GNU file command in my ifhp filter is declaring these files as
type data because of those non-printable characters. The file type data
is
not defined and so ifhp quits without printing. As a quick fix I tried
just to tell ifhp to run it through a2ps anyway even if the type was data.
In that case a2ps is complaining that the file is binary and won't convert
it. The strange thing (or maybe not strange to those of you who
understand
this better than I) is that running a2ps -Pmyprinter
--non-printable-format=space thenastyfile on the original system lets the
file come through just fine.
Below for reference here's the relevant section of my ifhp.conf
file. Nothing fancy. Anyone have any ideas of anything I can do to
handle
this situation? To be honest I got LPRng + ifhp up and running and
haven't
worked with it much since then. TIA for any help.

Re: LPRng: still losing ends of jobs
Do you have the option of using an internal JetDirect card on this printer? What happens when you take out the status@? (Although I would have chosen to use it myself, on an external JetDirect.) Other feeble suggestions are to check the configuration of the LaserJet, and make sure the parallel settings are high speed = yes and adv fnctns = on. A nice new IEEE 1284 printer cable might help too. (The IEEE 1284 spec says the cable should be marked IEEE 1284.) Anything interesting in the log file for this print queue?

We're to a point where it's getting to be a *really* big problem, and I have no idea what to do. We're running LPRng 3.6.24 on RedHat 6.2, and our printer is HP Laserjet 4 Plus. (We're using ifhp (3.3.17?), but for reasons given below I'm fairly sure that the problem occurs after ifhp is done. The printer has an external JetDirect box, and we print to port 9100. We also print to this printer from a SysV Unix box, using the lpsched system that came with it (but again printing to port 9100), and we do not see this problem at all with it, ever. The problem is that we lose the ends of jobs of more than a few pages. The printout just stops at some point, usually in the middle of a page. If the same job is sent again, it stops at exactly the same point. Or at least it has done so in a number of tests. Whenever this happens, the status readout on the printer is left showing the username of the user who sent the job. This would appear to indicate that the PJL commands to reset it are part of what's lost - which seems reasonable on the face of it, after all. In reading the HOWTOs, the only thing I could find that looked remotely like it might relate was the socket_linger parameter. I've tried boosting it way up there, with no change whatever. I've set up a printer exactly the same except printing to file. I can see that everything is there - stuff at the beginning added by ifhp, the file being printed, and PJL commands at the end. If I move this whole thing to the SysV box and send it (binary mode) to the printer, the whole thing prints. It sure looks as though LPRng is the culprit. Here's the printcap entry for the printer. (The -Z land66hp causes ifhp to add some extra setup stuff at the beginning of the job. It works fine for shorter jobs.) laser:\ :sd=/var/spool/lpd/laser:\ :mx#0:\ :mc#0:\ :socket_linger#90:\ :sh:\ :lp=laser%9100:\ :ifhp=model=hp4plus,status@:\ :if=/usr/local/libexec/filters/ifhp -Z land66hp: As I say, I've tried boosting the socket_linger up much higher, with no result whatever.

Re: LPRng: Desperately needing help!!!!
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.)

Re: LPRng: Phantom printing to HP printers
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.

Subject:LPRng: Phantom printing to HP printers
Hello,
I've just installed LPRng-3.7.4 on a RedHat Linux 6.1 system, and
all seems to be runningwell, sort of
I can print quite properly to one of our HP Laserjet 2100TN
printers, but not to the other 2100's (or actually, to *any*
printer). The status logs show that the LPRng system sends the
prints to the all the printers and that they were all printed
successfully. However, nothing comes out on two of them.
The firmware rev on the one printer that prints is G.07.2, which is
actually a lower rev than the two printers that won't print at
G.08.04. Other than that, the all the printers are configured
identically. The HP web site has zilch regarding UNIX printing.
I set the lpd daemon to a debug level of 10 ("-D10"), and made sure
the "lf" setting in the lpd.conf file was set. However, no real
information is spit out at all, not even the LPRng version level
when it is restarted. And checkpc is quite happy when I run it.
The two questions I have are:
1) Has anyone had a similar experience with this type pf HPLJ (or
any HP printer) where LPRng reports that the print is sent but
nothing is actually printed?
2) Why won't LPRng give me more info other than saying it restarted
when I have the debug level set?
Thanks in advance for any insights!!

Re: LPRng: HP Problem
I think lpq is saying "connection refused" because the query is being forwarded to the lpd server on your JetDirect card, and the JetDirect is busy handling your print request. If you want to look at the status of your print queue on the spooler, you can say "lpq -Phpdj730c@spooler", where "spooler" is the hostname of the spooler. JetDirects will usually handle only one connection at a time, which accounts for telnet failing also. Try talking to the JetDirect over port 9100, with lp=144.46.83.83%9100, instead of using the rm/rp notation used to talk to the lpd server on the JetDirect.

"Network printing" from O'Reilly covers LPRng among other topics.

Re: LPRng: Problems with loads of printjobs?
You may be thinking of a limit on the number of files that can be contained within one lpr print job. Data file names must follow the same pattern as the control file name, and have the format dfXnumberhost. The X can be in the range A-Za-z, allowing at most 52 data files for a job. By default, the number of jobs per queue is 999. The job number is usually a 3 digit value. However, in systems where a large number of jobs are spooled and need to be kept for printing at scheduled times, this can lead to problems. The longnumber option will use 6 digit job numbers. This must be used 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.

Re: LPRng: REJECT NOT SERVER/no connect permissions
I can't answer the authentication problem, but I have an answer for ^B. It's from RFC 1179. To send a print request with lpr, you send lpd a byte with the value \002, followed by the name of the printer, followed by a line feed. \002 corresponds to ^B, according the ASCII chart printed in O'Reilly's Unix in a Nutshell. Finding an ASCII chart with the control codes, now that's a trick.

Re: LPRng: lpc hold printer problems
I think you want to say 'lpc stop myprinter' instead of 'lpc hold myprinter'. 'Start' and 'stop' apply to the entire queue. 'Hold' applies to specific job(s) within the queue.

Re: LPRng: Trouble after initial installation
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.

Re: LPRng: printing to NT queue from LPRng
Here's a non-Samba answer. Install Microsoft's TCP/IP Printing network service, found on the NT CD-ROM. "Services" are a tab on the Network applet of the Control Panel. Then you can say "net start lpdsvc" from the command line to start the service, or start it from the Control Panel's Services applet. You'll probably want to use the Services applet to define this service to start automatically. Define a remote printer to LPRng's printcap: venlo|Oce 9800 in 704-1N:\ :mx#0:sh:lp=:\ :rm=venlo:rp=lp:\ :sd=/var/spool/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, preferably not SP4.

Re: LPRng: 52 job limit!!!
You're not the only one to run into this problem. The solutions that involve splitting the print job into multiple print jobs, via xargs or other means, do work. But if you need your multiple files to be printed in sequence with perfect accuracy, you can't use multiple jobs. There's no guarantee those multiple jobs will print in first-in, first-out sequence, especially if you're using a separate spooling server. The only solution I've found is to cat all the print files into one big wad, and then "lpr" the big wad. The burden is on you to insert any printer control language between files in the big wad. It's not a pretty solution, but the problem was designed into RFC1179 in the first place.
