On sparc for me concerning ghostscript & lprng: |

ghostscript-7.05.6-r2 seems OK; I can't speak to '-r1' |

Builds fine, and the utilities 'lpr' 'lpq' 'lpc' seem OK. However, |
26 |
1. Permissions on /var/spool/lpd as installed are such that no user may |
27 |
queue anything; |
28 |
2. Once that is corrected, lpd won't print for me; my printcap in |
29 |
relevant part reads: |
30 |
|
31 |
=========================== |
32 |
.common: |
33 |
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/%P |
34 |
:sh:mx=0:mc=0 |
35 |
|
36 |
lp|hp:tc=.common:lp=192.168.1.4%9100 \ |
37 |
:filter=/usr/local/libexec/filters/ifhp |
38 |
:ifhp=model=hp4simx |
39 |
============================ |
40 |
The test is pretty simple: |
41 |
1. Fix printcap to be as above; |
42 |
2. cd /etc/init.d |
43 |
3. ./LPRng stop ### Stop locally grown daemon |
44 |
4. ./lprng start ### And start up the new one |
45 |
5. lpc (to make sure everything is up & enabled & started & whatever |
46 |
else) |
47 |
6. a2ps -o lprng.ps lprng |
48 |
7. lpr -B lprng.ps |
49 |
And watch: First, "no permissions" with /var/spool/lpd/lp |
50 |
And then, lpstat -> "No server enabled" |
51 |
|
52 |
This works fine with locally built lprng-3.8.10, and it seems to be |
53 |
a problem with the configuration as build for 3.8.21. Putting |
54 |
force_localhost@ |
55 |
(or default force_localhost@) in the "/etc/lprng/lpd.conf" file does not |
56 |
cure anything. |
57 |
|
58 |
Since my locally built lprng-3.8.10 works fine on any system I have put it |
59 |
on, I am just going to say that lprng-3.8.21 might be OK, but it certainly |
60 |
doesn't work "out of the box." If anyone will tell how to fix the |
61 |
configuration problem, I'll give 3.8.21 a workout, since I do a lot on |
62 |
network printing (on the printer described above) anyway. |
63 |
|
64 |
(By the way, I could not use lprng at all without the 'ifhp' filter; have |
65 |
you ever considered adding it to GenToo?) |
