[mod.computers.apollo] Problems with lpr/lpd

seth@LOCUS.UCLA.EDU.UUCP (02/26/87)

Has anybody out there successfully gotten /usr/lib/lpd to work under
SR9.5 DOMAIN-IX?  I have a laserwriter connected over an sio line to
a DN460 which is running /usr/lib/lpd.  lpr spools the files just fine
and the jobs get processed.  The problem is that the only thing that comes
out from the printer is the banner page.  The body of the file is getting
swallowed up somewhere.  Attached is the /etc/printcap file I'm using.
Any help would be appreciated.

I have lpr/lpd running all over the place.  It does have a bug in it,
but this has been fixed in 9.5.  You can probably get a copy of the
corrected program from your local office.

I would cat the file out to the poort as a test: "cat file > /dev/sio3".
Of course, you should run the file through all the filters that you
think lpd is running it through.  If you need more help, feel free to
send me mail.
