Print jobs get into my print queu, but they don't get out. So I started
debugging lpd. After a lot of screwing around, I discovered that the
program was hanging up on line 1875 of printjob.c:
pfd = open(pp->lp, pp->rw ? O_RDWR : O_WRONLY);
pp->lp is "/dev/lpt0"
pp->rw is 0
So then I returned to my shell prompt and typed in:
cat /dev/null >/dev/lpt0
and that hung up uninterruptibly. What's going on?
FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE, unmodified generic kernel. All this worked normally
under 5.3, though that needed 'hw.intr_storm_threshold="2000"'.
