Hi folks
I have a few queries regarding things that happened when I updated to 3.1.5:
* Ever since I updated to 3.1.5 (and 2006) from 3.1.3 the (parallel) printer
attached to my RS6000/320 has been *adding a header page* when a file is
printed via lpr, despite my asking that it not be added when I configured
the vitual printer in SMIT. Has anyone else had this problem? Is it a bug
or have I stuffed something up? (I followed the installation instructions
carefully.) For the record, /etc/qconfig contains:
lp0:
device = lp0
lp0:
file = /dev/lp0
header = never *suggests it shouldn't appear!!!!
trailer = never
access = both
backend = /usr/lpd/piobe
(I know I could get rid of it with 'lpr -h', but I shouldn't have to!)
* When I ran mkvirprt (either within or outside SMIT) it seemed to jam up.
However, once I had also defined a couple of remote printers it seemed to
work again.
* The update notice for 3.1.5 says that /usr/lib/sendmail.cf will be updated
but this didn't seem to happen for me (the version before and after the
update is dated 11/6/90). Do I have the latest version?
I'd appreciate any feedback on whether I'm alone in these problems.
Thanks in advance,
