Hi sun-managers, another tardy summary
my original message was..
---------------------------- start message --------------------------
1) Does anyone out there have a printcap entry for a Hewlwtt-Packard
HP7580B that works!
2) I'm having a problem with a DECstation 5000 running Ultrix 4.1
sending print jobs to a SPARCprinter that is connected to a
SPARC 2 (and works fine). I need the printcap entry for the
Ultrix side. This is what I am using now an seems to hang with
one job in the queue...
#
# entry for a remote Sun SPARCprinter NeWSprint printer
lp5|sparc|lj1|Sun SPARCprinter NeWSprint printer:\
lp=:rm=PRINTSERV:rp=lj1:mx#0:sd=/usr/spool/lpd5:\
lf=/usr/spool/lpd5/log:
lpc> stat lp5
lp5:
queuing is enabled
printing is enabled
1 entry in spool area
no daemon present
I can flush the queue and restart the lpd daemon or reboot to reset
everything but the next time something is printed to lp5 it will Hang
with jobs in the queue. (aaarg!)
Other Info:
DEC side: DECstation 5000 running Ultrix 4.1
Sun side: SPARC2 running 4.1.1b w/NeWSprint 1.0
---------------------------- end message --------------------------
Solutions:
1) Here are the 2 printcap entries I received for the HP7580B... but they
were for someone else here so I have not tried them out. I'm sending them
prematurely because of the requests I've received for them.

This works for me:

2) The second solution for printing from an Ultrix box to a Sun connected
printer. My problem wasn't the printcap entry but the spool directory
on the sun that the Ultrix box was printing to was NFS mounted off
another sun. Apparently this is to much for the lpd to handle. I think
I read something about this problem on sun-managers some time ago.
