Top Forums UNIX for Beginners Questions & Answers Remote print from SLES (SAP) to AIX 7.1 04 sp2 virtual printer queue gets down Post 303027652 by Deneth on Friday 21st of December 2018 02:58:23 AM

Hello,
thank You all for Your replies.
so to answer most clearly :
-telnet on port 515 works fine
-qadm -U printer doesn't bring the queue up. Or maybe it does but then it immediately goes down because of queued remote jobs

-stanza for the virtual printer and printer is as follows from /etc/qconfig : the job goes to virtual printer, which invokes script that adds one line to the job, and then moves the spool to the real printer.
so it goes like this print request -> vBIOM -> script >BIOM

Code:
BIOM:
        device = @printBIOM
        up = TRUE
        host = printBIOM
        s_statfilter = /usr/lib/lpd/aixshort
        l_statfilter = /usr/lib/lpd/aixlong
        rq = BIOM
@printBIOM:
        backend = /usr/lib/lpd/rembak -T60
vBIOM:
        device = vBIOM
        up = TRUE
vBIOM:
        backend = /usr/scripts/backend/BIOM

- /var/ has 500 mb left so I doubt that some spool with 1 page is too much for it.

I 've set the /etc/hosts.lpd and /etc/hosts.equiv as follows :
Code:
/etc/hosts.lpd :
druk

Code:
/etc/hosts.equiv :
druk prdadm
druk root

in my opinion it should work. To which folder do You think I'd need to check privileges?


@Gull04 I don't really think SLES is the issue here. It doesn't do anything except for being a host for sap system (which works as a spool server itself, it doesn't need SLES help in that matter )

cups-lpd(8)						      Easy Software Products						       cups-lpd(8)

NAME
cups-lpd - receive print jobs and report printer status to lpd clients SYNOPSIS
cups-lpd [ -o option=value ] DESCRIPTION
cups-lpd is the CUPS Line Printer Daemon ("LPD") mini-server that supports legacy client systems that use the LPD protocol. cups-lpd does not act as a standalone network daemon but instead operates using the Internet "super-server" inetd(8). Add the following line to the inetd.conf file to enable the cups-lpd daemon: printer stream tcp nowait lp /usr/lib/cups/daemon/cups-lpd cups-lpd If you are using the newer xinetd(8) daemon, add the following lines to the xinetd.conf file: service printer { socket_type = stream protocol = tcp wait = no user = lp server = /usr/lib/cups/daemon/cups-lpd } SECURITY
cups-lpd currently does not perform any access control based on the settings in cupsd.conf(5) or in the hosts.allow(5) or hosts.deny files used by TCP wrappers. Therefore, running cups-lpd on your server will allow any computer on your network (and perhaps the entire Internet) to print to your server. While xinetd has built-in access control support, you should use the TCP wrappers package with inetd to limit access to only those comput- ers that should be able to print through your server. OPTIONS
The -o option to cups-lpd inserts options for all print queues. Most often this is used to disable the "l" filter so that remote print jobs are filtered as needed for printing: printer stream tcp nowait lp /usr/lib/cups/daemon/cups-lpd cups-lpd -o document-format=application/octet-stream server = /usr/lib/cups/daemon/cups-lpd server_args = -o document-format=application/octet-stream The example shown resets the document format to be application/octet-stream, which forces auto-detection of the print file type. COMPATIBILITY
cups-lpd does not enforce the restricted source port number specified in RFC 1179, as using restricted ports does not prevent determined users from submitting print jobs. While this behavior is different than standard Berkeley LPD implementations, it should not affect normal client operations. The output of the status requests follows RFC 2569, Mapping between LPD and IPP Protocols. Since many LPD implementations stray from this definition, remote status reporting to LPD clients may be unreliable. SEE ALSO
