I am having a problem with the lpr software for 4.2 bsd UNIX and its interface with a Digital LA180 line printer. First, the daemon for the lpr seems to hang a lot. Our other printers seem to work ok, but the lpr stops. Also the line to the lpr gets stuck, that is nothing seems to pass over it. I am unable to even get the line stats (stty) for the line when it is in this state. If anyone has ever had this problem with the 4.2 lpr system I would appreciate any reply. Finally, is it possible to reimplement the old 4.1 lpr system to run effectivly on 4.2? Rick Link decvax!yale!spock!overlord
