>Description:
I setup lpd to print to a remote printer. My system uses all ZFS so the spool directory is on ZFS too. After initially setting it up, lpd runs, but does not print. Also, I get an error from lpq saying "cannot examine spooling area"
>How-To-Repeat:
1. Setup an all ZFS system.
2. Add these lines to /etc/printcap:
lp|hp1320:\
:sh:\
:rp=lp:\
:mx#0:\
:rm=hp1320:sd=/var/spool/output/hp1320:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:
3. FInish configuring lpd:
echo 'lpd_enable="YES"' >> /etc/rc.conf
mkdir -p /var/spool/output/hp1320
/etc/rc.d/lpd start
4. Try to print:
lptest | lpr
5. See printing does not happen.
6. Also see error from lpq:
% lpq
lpq: lp: cannot examine spooling area
>Fix:
Work around is to put the spool dir on a UFS file system. Even one backed by md works.
