- I have been trying to setup a print service over lat. I can print
- fine for a while, and then I get errors in /usr/adm/lpd3-err. The error is:
-
- /usr/lib/lpd: test: cannot open /dev/tty17: Can't assign requested address
-
- Jobs keep piling up until I run lcp -h /dev/tty17 again. Then it will run
- for a while, and then start giving me errors again.
-
- Anybody seen this problem, and how do I fix it?
-
- I'm running Ultrix 4.2a on a Decstation 5000/240. Here is the
- printcap entry:
-
- # @(#)printcap 4.1 (ULTRIX) 7/2/90
- lp3|3|test:\
- :af=/usr/adm/lp3acct:\
- :ct=lat:\
- :lf=/usr/adm/lpd3-err:\
- :lp=/dev/tty17:\
- :of=/usr/lib/lpdfilters/ds400-ascii:\

- :os=:\
- :pl#24:\
- :pw#80:\
- :sd=/usr/spool/lpd3:\
- :ts=ELG_EQUINOX:
-
- and the entry from rc.local:
-
- [ -f /usr/etc/lcp ] && {
- /usr/etc/lcp -s \
- -h /dev/tty17 \
- & echo -n ' LAT' >/dev/console
- }
