[comp.sys.next] Problem with printing in 2.1!

tyc@cbnewse.att.com (felix.a.lugo) (06/20/91)

	I've been having problems with printing under 2.1 using something that
	used to work under 1.0/2.0!!!!  Anyone know what could be wrong?
	I print using Edit and destination ih55522a (NOTE: this worked fine
	under 1.0/2.0).

	Here's what I have:

$ nidump printcap .
Local_Printer: \
        :lp=/dev/null:ty=NeXT 400 dpi Laser Printer: \
        :sd=/usr/spool/NeXT/Local_Printer:if=/usr/lib/NextPrinter/npcomm: \
        :gf=/usr/lib/NextPrinter/psgf:nf=/usr/lib/NextPrinter/psnf: \
        :tf=/usr/lib/NextPrinter/pstf:rf=/usr/lib/NextPrinter/psrf: \
        :vf=/usr/lib/NextPrinter/psvf:cf=/usr/lib/NextPrinter/pscf: \

        :sd=/usr/spool/unison/ih55522a: \
        :if=/usr/local/unison/bin/prt_spool:

	Both /usr/lib/NextPrinter/npd and /usr/lib/lpd are running!

	I get the following messages everytime (as seen in /usr/adm/lpd-errs):

Jun 19 15:06:11 ihcoco lpd[1345]: restarting ih55522a
Jun 19 15:06:23 ihcoco last message repeated 11 times

	This continues until I lprm the print job!  What is going on?
