Hi
give me a hint... :wink:
I'm trying to run lpd and it doesn't stay as daemon, just starts and
finishes... I didn't forget about "&" at end of command line :slight_smile:
I have /etc/printcap which I borrowed from one FreeBSD box with record
---------------------
lp|v21b-hp51:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/v21b-hp51:\
:mx=0:\
:rm=:
---------------------
to note address IS presented there, I just removed it here in sec-ty
reason :wink:
does lpd has a debugging tracing facility?

Please, don’t do that.

Naturally.

Does RTP have a syslog?
I think lpd should also have a dont_detach_and_spit_debug switch.
(From lprng man)
OPTIONS
-L logfile
specifies an alternate file to be used for logging
error and debugging messages. The syslog(8) facility
is used to log critical messages as well.
-F Under normal operation, the LPD server will run in
background mode. The -F flag forces it to run in
forground mode, where it is more easily debugged.
-D debugopt
Debugging is controlled using the -D option. This
accepts a comma-separated list of debugging settings.
These settings take one of two forms: facility=value
, or value to set an overall default value. The
available facilities can be determined by invoking
LPD with the -D= parameter.
All it has is debug options
Are all required ditrectories created. lpd needs directories for the spool files…
Something like /usr/spool/lpd /usr/spool/output /usr/spool/lpd …
in your file I see: sd=/var/spool/lpd/v21b-hp51
does it exist?
Usually a spool directory is specified in printcap.
Also you may need to create /usr/adm for error logs
