Re: LPRng: spooling to windows lpd
hi, multiple possibilities: on the command line:'lpr -Fl -Pprinter or lpr -l -Pprinter in the printcap: 'default_format=l' (or 'global' in the lpd.conf file with the same entry) (this works only on the client, the machine that creates the controlfile) do the translation for incoming jobs on the printserver: 'translate_incoming_format=fl' (in the printcap or the lpd.conf file) reagards ~christoph Rajeev Agrawala wrote: 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.

Re: LPRng: spooling to windows lpd
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.
