- Hey,
-
- we have a big problem to print files from a SGI 4D/35 TG running
- IRIX 4.04 to a printserver from Xyplex Maxserver 1450. This
- printserver has his own output filter named xyp_filter. When I
- print directly over this output filter with
-
- /usr/lib/lpdfilters/xyp_filter 129.69.25.85 2200 < "file_to_print"
-
- then everything is ok and the Postscript LASER printer prints very
- well. But if I configure the printer in BSD manner with lpr etc.
- nothing happens. The following things I have done. After running
- lprsetup, the /etc/printcap looks like this :
-
- #
- ikeprn1|lp1:\
- :lp=/dev/null:\
- :lf=/usr/adm/lp1err:\
- :of=/usr/lib/lpdfilters/prtike:\
- :sd=/usr/spool/lpd1:
-
- The shell script /usr/lib/lpdfilters/prtike contains the following
- lines:
-
-
- #
- #! /bin/sh
- /usr/lib/lpdfilters/xyp_filter 129.69.25.130 2200
-
-
- I start the queue with "lpc start ikeprn1". Until this point
- everything is ok ! The following message appears :
-
- ikeprn1:
- printing enabled
- daemon started
-
- But when I send a file to print with lpr -Pikeprn1 "file_to_print",
- the file was correctly spooled, but was not sent to the printserver.
-
- The command lpq -Pikeprn1 says:
-
- Warning: no daemon present
- Rank Owner Job Files Total Size
- 1st root 19 /usr/TEST.PS 6605 bytes
-
- The command lpstat -pikeprn1 says:
-
- lpstat: printer "ikeprn1" non-existent
-
-
- If you have any ideas for me, please mail them to me.
-
- Thanks for your efforts,
-
- Oliver
