cups-lpd

[Jacob Lindberg]

Hi,

I'm running a CUPS 1.1.23. It's a Gentoo ppc64 distribution running inside an i5 machine as an LPAR. So far this setup is working more than perfectly.

A couple of days ago I enabled cups-lpd on this machine, since I wanted my OS400 to be able to deliver print to my different queues. This worked out pretty well. I created a queue on the os400 which is just delivering the print to my CUPS via lpd.

Now I'm considering upgrading to CUPS 1.2.5. So what I have done is to copy my setup to another box (since the above is production), and verified that everything is working. Except some different lib updates, I got it to work without any problems.

Now here is the problem. The cups-lpd is able to get the print from the OS400, but on the output (the paper itself) I only get a square in the middle giving me the Job ID, Title, Requesting User, and Billing info. My question is: What am I missing here?

I have tried with and without 'server_args = -n -o document-format=application/octet-stream' in my xinetd configuration. My log is telling me this:

Does anyone have a clue of what I might be missing here?

Thanks.
