I don't see what llbd has to do with it. Unix lpd stuff isn't NCS based as far I as I'm aware. I've been playing around with the berkeley print stuff the last couple of weeks and haven't had any problems with it at all. I did however experience the "No Daemon present" syndrome and in fact, haven't been able to get that to go away. It doesn't seem to affect the operation of the lpd stuff though. What does your printcap entry look like for this printer? If you set up this printer to work from one of your Sparc's does it work? (I'm wondering if its a problem with your /dev/printer socket or whether the problem is deeper. Also, how 'bout setting up your device to be /dev/tty01 instead of /dev/sio1. I'm not overly aware of what exactly the differences are but I've found in the past that Unix utilities much prefer the ttyxx stuff over the sio stuff. Incidentally, we much prefer the NCS printing stuff to lpd but that's not the point. -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- UUCP: herb@blender.UUCP || #define Janitor Administrator ICBM: 51 03 N / 114 03 W || Apollo System_Janitor, Novatel Communications "I spilled spot remover on my dog and now he's gone..." <Steven Wright>

I'm trying to get the BSD printing to run.
Although lpd starts up fine, the jobs just get queued up
and don't move. An "lpq -Pxx" gives "Warning: no daemon present"
and an "lpc restart xx" gives "no daemon to abort, starting daemon"
But the daemon is there....
All the modes on the files are just what the manual said, and the
printer is hooked up because I can just dump stuff to it through
"cat zzz > /dev/sio1" and it comes out fine.
I've tried to kill and restart lpd, remove the /dev/printer socket,
remove the lock files in /usr/spool/lpd/xx...
I also have entries for the printer host in /etc/hosts.equiv,
/etc/hosts.lpd and /usr/spool/lpd/servername.
All this is done from the node to which the printer is attached..
NOTE: I am doing nothing with the aegis printing system, although
I did get a suggestion to get aegis printing up first and then
place BSD printing on top. I don't see why BSD printing won't work:{
Anybody had similar experiences???

Then I wonder what lb_$register is doing in its symbol table?
I couldn't get lpr/lpd to work either. My solution was to grab the Berkeley
sources and compile them myself. Works fine now.ianh@bhpmrl.oz.au (Ian Hoyle) (02/22/91)

My solution was to grab the Berkeley >sources and compile them myself. Works fine now. We have been using lpr/lpd since sr10.0 (do we all remember *that* release :-). Not without problems tho' ... we could never get it running with just lpd on a 'server' node. We have always found that we need to have lpd running on each node. No big deal. Remote printing to other hosts running lpd such as VAXen and now even SGI machines works fine. ian -- Ian Hoyle /\/\ Image Processing & Data Analysis Group / / /\ BHP Research - Melbourne Laboratories / / / \ 245 Wellington Rd, Mulgrave, 3170 / / / /\ \ AUSTRALIA \ \/ / / / \ / / / Phone : +61-3-560-7066 \/\/\/ FAX : +61-3-561-6709 E-mail : ianh@bhpmrl.oz.au

To be more specific, here are the settings I have been using in /etc/printcap for over a year to connect an Imagen laser printer to a DN10000: imagen:\ :lp=/dev/tty03:\ :af=/usr/adm/imagen_acct/imagen:\ :lf=/usr/spool/lpd/imagen/log:\ :sd=/usr/spool/lpd/imagen:\ :lo=lock:\ :br#19200:\ :fc#0177777:\ :xc#0177777:\ :fs#0340:\ :xs#044040:\ :rw:\ :sh:\ :mx#10000:\ :cf=/usr/local/lib/icif:\ :df=/usr/local/lib/idvi:\ :gf=/usr/local/lib/igraph:\ :if=/usr/local/lib/ipf:\ :nf=/usr/local/lib/idimp:\ :rf=/usr/local/lib/ifort:\ :tf=/usr/local/lib/icat:\ :vf=/usr/local/lib/imp:\ :rs: These settings are for 8 bit, no parity, 19200 baud, XON/XOFF flow control, no character translations ("raw" mode), no echo. Note that the various filters are part of the Imagen UNIX Software. The difference between /dev/siox and /dev/tty0x is mainly in the way the cable must be wired -- if you are going to use the tty0x devices, you must make sure DCD is wired high (or held high by the printer). The siox devices don't care about DCD. (I am not 100% sure that it is DCD, since I don't have my printer cable wiring diagram here, but it is one of the control pins for sure -- I'm pretty sure it is DCD since this causes trouble when you want to talk to a modem: it won't raise DCD until it gets a connection, but you can't get a connection until you can talk to the modem).
