Hi managers,
I have problem migrating a print server from a Ultrix box to DU 3.2d-2 box.
The Ultrix box overlooks several HP laser printers. All have internal
jetdirect cards. I hoped to use the same printcap in a DU 3.2d-2 box
in order to get the same result as in the Ultrix box but I was wrong.
Here is one of the printqueue entry in printcap:
se4m|HP 4m Laser Printer:\
:if=/usr/local/system/printlog/bin/filter.pl -Q se4m:\
:lf=/var/spool/se4m/log:\
:lp=/var/spool/se4m/.null:\
:mx#1000:\
:sd=/var/spool/se4m:\
:sh:
filter.pl is a perl script we used as the input filter.
With this settings, I found that the perl script was not invoked. The job
was queued as reported by lpq. However, it also gave me a warning message
saying "No daemon running".
I had search the archive and found a common solution by using rm, rp. It works.
However, I also saw a response that once rm & rp were use, the if/of were not
operational. We need to use the filter for accounting purposes. Hence, I
would like to know the way to set a DU box to act as a print server.
Any suggestion?
Regards,
TM Lam
