I have a printcap with more then one entries (I´m using apsfilter). But all of them are connected to the same printer. To prevent chaos I have the same lock-file, but diffrent spooling-directories for them. If there are two different jobs the whole printerqueue is locked. I always get a message that there is no daemon present but ps tells me that there is still one. If I kill the running lpd and start it again the printer continues with the next job. but if there are two jobs in different printers it hangs again after finishing the first one. The /var/log/lpd-errs says nothing. My question is: Do you have the faintest idea what is wrong? Or is it impossible to have more then one printcap-entry connected to a single queue? -- Ciao ----------------------- Karsten Fleischer _../|_ ='__ ~-. * fleischi@physik.tu-berlin.de \' ~~-`._ * http://www.physik.tu-berlin.de/~fleischi |/~` _______________________________________________
