Hmm... seems everyone is on vacation... anyway I finally found the solution
to this cups issue.

For some reason printing does not work properly if the -l ( that is the
lower case letter L! )option is not given for the lpr command. To get
printing working fine, the outputcommand statement must be as follows:

scs2ascii | lpr -h -l -Pprintername

the same is true for scs2ps. with scs2ps and ibmmfrtypmdl=*hp4 the printer
only prints the header for each page, and dumps the rest of the content if
the -l is not used. bit annoying that. The -h is needed to suppress header
pages which cups also insists on printing....

cheers, and welcome back from vacation!

Update on the lp5250d issue

I have fixed the compile of the 16.5 version on suse 9.1. A diff with the
cvs version of tn5250.c showed that a \ was missing on line 181.

However the ''chgwtr'' issue remains the same. when the writer prints from
a different queue, there is no output to printer, even though it appears
that data processing takes place...

Folks-

I'm having a bit of a problem with the latest cvs version and suse 9.1
using cups.

When I start the lp5250d daemon to an outq on the as/400, I can print fine.
However, if I would like to move the writer to another outq with the
command 'chgwtr eeprn001 tlxlib/ina' the writer moves to the new outq,
processes the files, but I do not get any output to the printer, event
though the process manager shows that lp5250d, lpr and cups are doing their
job i.e. processing data.

previously I was using the latest release on redhat enterprise server 2,
and this worked fine, but the release was not compiling correctly on suse.

anybody have any ideas?

thanks

Elmars Ositis
