____________________________________________
Description:
___________
This package provides replacement files for LPD.EXE, LPQ.EXE,
LPR.EXE, LPRM.EXE, LPRMON.EXE, LPRPORTD.EXE, PDRVR.PDR,
and LPR32.DLL, for OS/2 Warp v4.0 TCP/IP ( Merlin ).
Installation instructions:
__________________________
You must have the following installed on your system:
- OS/2 version 4.0 with TCP/IP v4.0
MPTS FixPack WR8415 or above if the TCP/IP version 4.0 is used.
You should put the LPRFILES.EXE file in a temporary subdirectory
and enter:

You should back up the current versions of these files on your
system. Then replace the *.EXE files in the TCPIP\BIN directory,
and the LPRPDRVR.PDR, LPR32.DLL, and TNLS16.DLL files
in the TCP\DLL directory. Then SHUTDOWN and REBOOT the
system to make these executables and the corresponding dlls active.
Apars included in this group of fixes with a brief description:
(executables and/or dlls fixed)
_______________________________________________________________
IC15250 - Provides DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) support
for the LPR print function. Also, NLS translation problems
were fixed that prevented translated messages from being
displayed. ( lpd.exe, lpq.exe, lpr.exe, lprm.exe, lprmon.exe,
lprportd.exe, lpr32.dll, lprpdrvr.pdr)
IC15541 - When starting LPRPORTD from the command line on a pristine
installed system, the error message "LPR 32.DLL failed to
initialize, RC=-20021" is displayed. (lpd.exe, lpq.exe,
lpr.exe, lprm.exe, lprmon.exe, lprportd.exe, lpr32.dll)
IC15961 - When a customer opens the printer object and then opens the
PIPE/LPD port settings, the PMSHELL grabs the port driver
making it impossible for another process to print thereby
locking the print jobs. If you do try to print, the spooler
will either trap or hang the print job. (lprpdrvr.pdr)
IC15980 - The LPRPORTD.EXE process can trap when two jobs are
printing at the same time in two different printer queues each
configured to output to a different \PIPE\LPDx pipe. It will
not trap every print job, but it will trap. In our tests, it
traps within 10 minutes of IPL with a nominal load.
(lpr32.dll)
IC16515 - SYS3175 with access violation in SETLOC1.DLL when
LPRPORTD tries to access a printer that is turned off or
unavailable.(lpr32.dll)
IC17330 - Printing of files using LPRPORTD.EXE takes excessive
amounts of time. A 300K file takes between 5.0 to 6.5
minutes to print. This is due to the fact that writes
to the named pipe are occurring in 1K blocks and at 1.0
sec cycle increments. (lprportd.exe)
IC17379 - When customer attempts to send a very large print job to
the server using LPR on the client, the lpd window
will fail with a SYS3175 error. The register contents
show TNLS16.DLL as the failing module. They are able
to LPR small print jobs, but when the jobs get very large,
such as 100MB, they get this failure every time. (lpd.exe,
tnls16.dll)
IC17590 - Customer has 14 printers and 14 print queues on print
server. Customer is limited to accessing only ports
(721 - 731) at one time. The customer sees a 3 minute
delay on the additional 4 queues after the print jobs
are complete on the first 10 queues. (lpr32.dll)
IC18395 - Incorrect messages received for lprportd, lpr,lpq,
lprm and lprmon commands. This happens on translated
messages.
IC18816 - Port limitation (721-731) when using ip for printing
causes severe backlog of print jobs on large networks.
IC18841 - LPRPORTD hang when printer is ready and there is a job in the
print queue (LPRPORTD running on print server).
Note: This fix is important for customers who run LPRPORTD
on a print server machine. As part of this fix a new -s option
is introduced on LPRPORTD. This indicates that LPRPORTD is
being run on a print server. With the -s option, a keepalive
interval is set for connections started by LPRPORTD. To
be beneficial, the customer should also set the keepalive
interval to 2 or 3 minutes using the inetcfg command.
(e.g. inetcfg keepalive=2 or 3).
This allows TCP to monitor idle connections every 2 to 3
minutes and insure they are still alive or close the connection.
IC18869 - SYS3175 trap in TNLS16.DLL running LPD -cp none specified
trying to print a text with graphics file.
