Subject: [netatalk-admins] Connection to DeskJet not being closed...

Hello-
I'm making progress in getting a Solaris host to print to a
LocalTalk connected HP DeskJet 870Cxi, but I have run up against a problem
I can't figure out. For some reason, after a document has printed
successfully, the connection to the printer is not getting closed.
An example session follows---
Before I send anything to the printer, I see:
$ /usr/local/atalk/bin/papstatus -p "DeskJet 870C in 405B:DeskWriter@Math"
status:idle;source:AppleTalk revision 20.7-00115;extStatus:0400030000
^^^^^^^^^^^
Then I print the file:
$ gs -q \
-dNOPAUSE \
-sDEVICE=cdj550 \
-sOutputFile='|/usr/local/atalk/bin/pap -p \
"DeskJet 870C in 405B:DeskWriter@Math"' \
/usr/local/share/ghostscript/5.10/examples/colorcir.ps \
-c quit
And then the printer stays busy until it is powered off and back on:
$ /usr/local/atalk/bin/papstatus -p "DeskJet 870C in 405B:DeskWriter@Math"
status:busy;source:AppleTalk revision 20.7-00114;extStatus:0480030000
^^^^^^^^^^^
I get the same results if I print via a queue instead of on the command
line; lpq reports
"dj870 is ready and printing"
long after the document has finished printing. The comm light on the
printer is not active after the doc is printed.
Any Ideas? I'm using stock 1.4b2 on a Solaris 2.5.1 host.
TIA,
Tim
