Dear list-members,
I am using SPARC Solaris 2.8 with GISWXprint. Before now, I used the
downloadable tarball for Solaris with the run_xprint_tarball.sh script
as normal user. This method worked well, using Xprt and the lpr system
(we use lpc control-based printing). However, I wished to use the
GISWxprint package, so I patched my Solaris box ("fukao21") with the
relevant SunSolve patch clusters and installed. So far so good. After
reboot script /etc/init.d/xprint starts Xprt.
Mozilla and Firefox show me a long list of printers in the print dialog
select box. However, nothing actually prints (except the
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:33, and printing to file). I get
the error message "psfukaop1: unknown printer". On the other hand, lpc
shows me that the printers are enabled, and furthermore I can print with
lpr command to any printer. I tried the xplsprinters command and I see
all the printers listed, such as [EMAIL PROTECTED]:33, and
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:33.
However, typing "xphelloworld -printer psfukaop1" gives the same error
as when I try to print with Mozilla or Firefox. It is true that on this
Solaris setup lpc is used instead of lpstat to get the list of
available printers from /etc/printcap (and not from /etc/printers.conf),
but Xprint >=009 apparently has the ability to use a number of commands
and select the one which gives a valid spool as output: as indicated by
the printer list I get in Mozilla.
The old method of using the tarball also no longer works now! So I
suspect that the patches also managed to change something that Xprt
expects to find, which was OK before....
So I respectfully ask - where can I continue looking for the issue here?
I do not lay the blame at the feet of Xprt, since the older tarball
version worked before
