- We've just switched from IPtalk via a kbox to native ethertalk (phase 2) on
- a SUN3 (4.0.3) and a SPARCstation-2 (4.1.1), and now laserwriter access is
- broken on both machines. In lpd-errs, we get the following message
-
- Jan 11 09:14:39 red lpd[3238]: restarting lw132
- Jan 11 09:15:29 red last message repeated 59 times

- Here's the printcap entry, cap.printers entry, and the shell script to
- invoke papif (these worked when we were using IPtalk):
-
- (printcap)
- lw132:\
- :lp=/dev/lw132:\
- :sd=/var/spool/lw132:\
- :sf:\
- :lf=/var/adm/lw-log:\
- :if=/usr/local/lib/cap/lw132:\
- :of=/usr/local/lib/cap/papof:
-
- (cap.printers)
- lw132=132 PLW:LaserWriter@CoSc Labs
-
- (lw132 shell script)
- #!/bin/sh
- BANNERLAST=0
- BANNERFIRST=0
- DOACCT=0
- export BANNERLAST BANNERFIRST DOACCT
- /usr/local/lib/cap/papif -P lw132 $*
-
- Aufs, atlook, etc all work fine, and we can print a postscript file to lw132
- using lwpr. Under ethertalk, the machines are in a different zone than
- they were when running IPtalk. etcdest and all other dests were all set to
- /usr/local/lib/cap.
-
- I've RTFM all weekend, and I'm completely stymied. I haven't been following
- threads about printer probs, so I don't know if this is a common prob or not.
- Could someone in the know please enlighten me? Any suggestions would be
- very much appreciated!
-
- Thanks in advance.
