Hi All ,
I have two systems a 2100 and 4100 both running V4.0B
with Patch 4 .
Each one has two remote printers set up which print to a Sun box .
Each printcap file is exactly the same .
When I print from the 4100 , everything is fine , but when I print
from the 2100 , the printout comes out but the user is always sent
the following E-Mail .
Your request ds-3 destined for ds
The job title was: printest
submitted from: oberon.ucc.usyd.edu.au

encountered an error while printing on printer ds.
Reason for failure:
UX:lp: WARNING: unrecognized "-o flist='" option
TO FIX: check the option, resubmit if necessary
printing continues
UX:lp: WARNING: unrecognized "-o printest:67" option
TO FIX: check the option, resubmit if necessary
printing continues
UX:lp: WARNING: unrecognized "-o '" option
TO FIX: check the option, resubmit if necessary
printing continues
It is the same with the command lpr -Pds printest or lp -dds printest
The printcap is : (on both machines)
lp1|1|lp|ds:\
:lf=/usr/adm/lp1err:\
:lp=:\
:rm=sunnyboy:\
:rp=ds:\
:sd=/usr/spool/lpd1:
I have reconfigured the printers several times. There is no alias
for lp etc. I am sure this is something so simple that I cant
see the side of the barn 'cause of the trees ( or something like that)
I have remoted the 2100 to the 4100 which remotes to the sun , and
that works Ok , but if you know whats causing the above problem I
would really appreciate the enlightment.
Thanking you ,
