  12. We are having problems getting lpd print utilities to run on our SGI Indigo
  13. network. The printer is a QMS815. One of the Indigoes on the network is used
  14. as the print server for it. We are currently using 4.0.1 operating system.
  15. The problem seems to be that after the job has been sent to the printer,
  16. the job prints, but is not removed from the queue.
  17.  
  18. Is anyone successfully using lpd on an Indigo for a local printer? We ran
  19. across a note in the system documentation that indicated that SGI is not
  20. supporting the Berkeley print utilities with IRIX 4.0.1 (or 4.0.5 for that
  21. matter).
  22.  
  23. I would appreciate any input, tips, or responses with regard to how you got
  24. it to work. Thanks.
