I have recently upgraded from OSF/1 V2.0 to V3.0 and am now
experiencing a problem with lpr printing to an NT server V3.5 box.
I spool lpr printing from the OSF/1 box to the NT box with a printcap
entry as per below:
comm_ps|laser|lp1:\
:af=/usr/adm/lp1acct:\
:if=/usr/lbin/lpf:\
:lf=/usr/adm/lp1err:\
:lp=:\
:rm=sabdarkg:\
:rp=Commercial:\
:of=/usr/lbin/lpf:\
:sd=/usr/spool/lpd1:
This has worked flawlesly under OSF/1 v2.0 for months, NOW under V3.0
every now and then the LPD server on the NT machine complains about an
illegal format in command from the OSF/1 box (repeated many thousands of
times) and kills all LPD printing on the NT box (needs a reboot to fix).
Has anybody seen behavior similar to this ? Is it an OSF/1 bug in V3.0
that is triggering this behaviour in NT or the other way around ?
Thanks in Advance...
