>Description:
On a system running GA-K8NF-9 with AMD64 3500+ with a HP DeskJet 710C connected to lpt0, printer refuses to print with parallel port in interrupt mode (this is described in the Handbook).
After switching to polled-standard or polled-extended, first "lpr" command runs successful printout, but lpd does not remove its lock file from /var/spool/lpd/{printername}, making next printouts impossible.
Look at this:
total 6
-rw-r----x 1 root daemon 4 Feb 16 01:03 .seq
---xrwS--T 1 root daemon 20 Feb 16 01:03 lock
-rw-rw-r-- 1 root daemon 28 Feb 16 01:03 status
and here comes the lock file itself:
782
cfA003Tygrytron
as you notice, there is no cfA003Tygrytron file in /var/spool/lpd/{printername} directory. Removing the lock file helps - for a single printout.
