[comp.unix.ultrix] Lat print daemon problem

booth@lub001.lamar.edu (02/07/91)

I am in the process of setting up my first Ultrix/Unix system and am having 
trouble with defining a LAT queue for the system. Here's what I have:

/etc/printcap

lp1|1|line_prn:\
	:af=/usr/adm/lp1acct:\
	:if=/usr/lib/lpdfilters/lg02of:\
	:lf=usr/adm/lperr:\
	:lp=/dev/tty00:\
	:mx#0:\
	:of=/usr/lib/lpdfilters/lg02of:\
	:op=CS_PRINT_132
	:pl#66:\
	:pw#132:\
	:sd=/usr/spool/lpd1:\
	:ts=csts2:\
	:xf=/usr/lib/lpdfilters/xf:

I attempt to start the queue using "lpc start all" and get:

lp1: daemon started
     printing enabled

then I do a "lpc status all" and see

lp1: printing enabled
     queueing enabled
     no entries
     no daemon present

When I attempt to print and then repeat the command "show status" I see:

lp1: queueing is enabled 
     printing is enabled
     1 entry in spool area
     waiting for lp1 to connect

Then I go back to 1 entry in spool area and no daemon present.

I am using Ultrix 4.1 on a DECstation 5000. Connections from a terminal 
server to the system work fine. 

What am I doing wrong?

	Is this a slap on the wrist?  or arrogance.

	We DID!
	lpssetup does not tell you what parameters you need to set 
	or what case they should be in. The printcap file I sent was typed in 
	from what lpsserver created. The "manuals" aren't exactly VMS quality 
	either. Your customer relation skills could use a little brushing up.
	Maybe It's just me.

In printcap your are missing the field ct=lat and teh name of the
terminal server should be in upper case.


Make sure you use lpssetup in future.
