I've had this setup working fine for about a year and a half and now it's acting up.
I have a network printer HP4600 running lpd internally and a central mail server running woody and lprng:
printcap:
##LPRNGTOOL## REMOTE POSTSCRIPT 600x600 letter {} PostScript Default {}
lp|PostScript|HP4600 Color LaserJet
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp
:sh
:mx=0
:af=/var/spool/lpd/lp/acct
:ml=0
:lf=/var/spool/lpd/lp/log
:cd=/var/spool/lpd/lp/
:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
:if=/usr/share/lprngtool/master-filter
:##LPRNGTOOL## REMOTE TEXT NAxNA letter {} TextPrinter Default {}
lp0|PlainText|HP4600 Color LaserJet
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp0
:sh
:ml=0
:mx=0
:af=/var/spool/lpd/lp0/acct
:lf=/var/spool/lpd/lp0/log
:cd=/var/spool/lpd/lp0
:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
:if=/usr/share/lprngtool/master-filter
:These were set up with lprngtool.
I have clients pointing to the central mail server (mail) and their printcap looks like this:
##LPRNGTOOL## REMOTE POSTSCRIPT 600x600 letter {} PostScript Default {}
lp|PostScript|HP4600 Color LaserJet
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp
:sh
:ml=0
:mx=0
:af=/var/spool/lpd/lp/acct
:lf=/var/spool/lpd/lp/log
:cd=/var/spool/lpd/lp
:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
:if=/usr/share/lprngtool/master-filter
:##LPRNGTOOL## REMOTE TEXT NAxNA letter {} TextPrinter Default {}
lp0|PlainText|HP4600 Color LaserJet
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp0
:sh
:ml=0
:mx=0
:af=/var/spool/lpd/lp0/acct
:lf=/var/spool/lpd/lp0/log
:cd=/var/spool/lpd/lp0
:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
:if=/usr/share/lprngtool/master-filter
:
I fixed broken mail in the past by tweaking /etc/lprng/lpd.perms commenting out the line: REJECT NOT SERVER
I have now modified the file to read:
ACCEPT SERVICE=* DEFAULT ACCEPT
And still no printing from remote clients.
Printing the test page from the server mail.rcwm.com works.
I can follow the job thru the que. And it appears to be attempting to send the job to the printer over and over again until it errors out like so:

HELP!
