I have a fbsd-4.5 box acting as a print server for some NT servers and one
NT workstation. I am having
problems printing. I was able to print one page after a reboot, then the
subsequent pages all failed. On the
NT boxes in the printer window when a job fails it shows
Printing - printer busy or error
I check the queue on the fbsd box with lpc stat all and it is empty, and
the printer and queue are enabled
and ready.
I got this message on the console after trying a print job of just one
page -
lpd[688]: lp: readfile: error on open(tfA101cwiegand.simdom): file exists
The tail of lpd-errs looks like this -
Oct 10 14:39:29 cwiegand2 lpd[1171]: lp: unable to open dfA390SIMRAD_0
('l' line)
Oct 10 14:39:29 cwiegand2 lpd[1171]: lp: job could not be printed

Here's my printcap -
lp|hp|952C|HP952C:\
:sh:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/hp:\
:lp=/dev/lpt0:\
:mx#0:\
:if=/usr/local/libexec/if-simple:
Here's the if-simple file -
#!/bin/sh
printf "\033&k2G" && cat && printf "\033&l0H" && exit 0
exit 2
I hope someone can help with this (I'd hate to have to move the printer to
the
NT workstation).
