after making the upgrade from 7.3 to 8.1 i cant print anymore. i always used hte lprold package and apsfilter package for printing to our IBM InfoPrint 40 PostScript printers. I still have my old printcap and apsfilterrc files and tried using the lprold and apsfilter rpms from 7.3 but that doesnt work. For the life of me i cant get lprng to work.
anyone got any tips for me?
LPRng was broken on 8.1 'out of the box'. I'm not sure whether SuSE has provided a fix or not but I just grabbed the RPM from www.lprng.com for the 3.8.12 version. I wouldn't mess with anything later than that. There were some bugs.......
Well if you decide to compile it on your own. Get version LPRng-3.2.20. It works correctly. Stay clear of 3.8.15 it fails every other time.
Did you mean to say---- 3.2.20? or 3.8.20? -- +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ + Bruce S.
