Hello, I have a vanilla FreeBSD 7.0 GENERIC system that is only serving as print server using lpd, which occasionally outputs 'connection lost' messages similar to this: Apr 1 16:18:13 fbsdprint1 lpd[2219]: Error receiving job from server.that.prints: Apr 1 16:18:13 fbsdprint1 lpd[2219]: printer48: lost connection A corresponding error is then sent back to server.that.prints which I'd like to avoid. So is there a way to force lpd to store all printjobs before sending to the printer? And how can I find out what is causing these lost connection messages in the first place? tcpdump does not really help me here. printer is a HP4350 with network interface etc. Any suggestions? Best regards, Holger Kipp
