I'm running netatalk-1.4b2 on a solaris 5.5 machine. I have pap setup with
sun's screwy sysv lp queue system. It works most of the time, but sometime it
hangs. I don't think the problem is with the LP stuff, as there is a
perfectly good postscript file in the queue directory and a command like:
pap -c -s /tmp/papstatus -p LaserWriter 630:LaserWriter /var/spool/.../502-1
is running. The light on the printer is flashing like it does when it is
receiving data, except the print job has already printed! pap is just
sitting there hung on something. papstatus reports:
status: busy; source: EtherTalk
Is this some known bug? Could it be some problem with defective firmware
in the printer?
What happens if I do something like this?
pap somefile &
echo "more data" >> somefile
Will pap be able to handle more data getting added to the file before
it starts printing? Maybe I'll try some tests.
