9 On sparc for me concerning ghostscript & lprng:

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

25 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?)
