- I had this problem not too long ago when I compiled Ghostscript and started
- sending ps files to /dev/lp1. The large files would g for a while and then
- jam with "cat: write error". The solution, provided by dave Einstein, is
- simple:
-
- in lp.h change the line "#define LP_TIMEOUT 200000" [[B[[Ato a value x100
- or more. I tried 20000000 and it worked fine but then I got another
- error today. I will double it on my next kernel compile I guess.
