Network printing broke in 5.2current about 2-3 months ago and I rode with it on the assumption that it would be fixed over a couple of upgrade cycles.
I think the error has something to do with detecting the Trendnet TE100-P1P print server.
Code:
Bear$ lpc status all
hp5l:
queuing is enabled
printing is enabled
1 entry in spool area
waiting for 9100@192.168.1.2 to come up
:
queuing is enabled
printing is enabled
cannot examine spool directory
I was using apsfilter and have also tried a ghostscript filter and a foomatic filter - all wait on 9100@192.168.1.2 to come up.
I briefly had trouble with printing *pdf files which went away with an upgrade. My last upgrade:
Code:
OpenBSD 5.2-current (GENERIC.MP) #2: Mon Dec 10 18:39:29 MST 2012
deraadt@amd64.openbsd.org:/usr/src/sys/arch/amd64/compile/GENERIC.M
I really like the simplicity of lpr and would like to fix it rather then change over to cups.
Thanks in advance for any insights
