We are using Ultrix-32M, version 1.2, on a Micro Vax II with an HP laserjet printer. Once in a while, 2 files are printered interleaved. I am assuming multiple daemons are active but have been unable to prove it. The directory, file and binary permissions are set as stated in the 4.2BSD Line Printer Spooler Manual. The lock file has owner daemon, group daemon, and permissions 0664. The lo= attribute in the printcap has been used without any change. We are using one spooling queue (/usr/spool/lpd) and one printcap entry. lp|local line printer, generic, with output filter:\ :lp=/dev/lp:\ :fc#177777:fs#06321:xc#177777:xs#040:br#9600:\ :sd=/usr/spool/lpd:lf=/usr/adm/lpd-errs:pl#66:\ :of=/usr/local/lib/lp/filterlp: The of= filter checks for laserjet output text and if it is not, resets the printer to something that lpr and print can use, then passes the text through. Any help appreciated. tikal!slovax!bills System Admin. R&D Associates
