Here is one for the experts…
We are using QNX 425. We have a high speed printer that goes through the /usr/spool/lpd.
To start print service we have /etc/printcap and we start the print services with with lpsrvr -f <print.config>, then lpd.
The output defined in the printcap file is the following:
gm_q342raw|q342raw:
:lp=:mx#0:
:rm=10.2.0.128:rp=L2:
:sd=/usr/spool/output/lpd/hpjd0_raw2:
:af=/var/spool/lpd/gm_q342_raw.log:
:lf=/var/spool/lpd/gm_q342_raw.err
The sin output is the following
//4/usr/spool/output# sin | grep lp
12665 //4/NFS/usr/bin/lpsrvr 10 RECV 0 36k 188k
23948 //4//4.25/usr/ucb/lpd 10 RECV 21931 26k 36k
23949 //4//4.25/usr/ucb/lpd 10 REPLY 93 26k 65k
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Print Services are started and the other printers on the QNX are operational.
issue print job to the system as an lp -P .
The printer does not print the job. I can shut down the print services…then start the lpsrvr and lpd services, the QNX will print out the file on the printer.
Any hypothesis???
