I am trying to get a Linksys 3 port print server to stay working.
I am using Qnx 425e
I have set up the printer in /etc/printcap
oki5|Oki on LinkSys:
:lp=:
:rm=192.168.0.71:
:rp=L1:
:sd=/usr/spool/output/oki5:
I have the directory /usr/spool/output/oki5 set up as well.
I have set up a spooler in lpsrvr.1 for this printer
[splr5]
ta=null
co=/usr/ucb/lpr -Poki5 $(spfile)
This prints small printouts fine.
If I send a large printout to the printer(6 pages) - and while that one is
printing,
I send another printout (a single page) - the first printout finishes, but
the second printout never starts to print.
ll /usr/spool/output/oki5

anyone know why the next print job won’t start up?
