Yes for sure it is pingable and resolvable. I did included this fake name in
the mail for clarity. The true name of the printer is resolvable. Moreover,
the problem remains even when I specify an IP address instead of the name.
I've tried to put some probe (e.g. tcpdump) on the server to see when
packets are sent; nothing is sent to the printer.

Eric,
Does "printer_FQDN" have a "resolvable" IP address as far as your machine is
concerned?
Can you "ping printer_FQDN"?

Subject: LPRng: lpd process running foolish
Hello,
I'm posting to the mailing list because I've a problem I'm unable to solve
by
myself. I read the FAQ, browsed the web mailing list, but unfortunately
didn't found an answer.
The problem is quite simple. I've defined very basic printers in
/etc/printcap.
lp
:sd=/var/spool/lp/lpd
:lp=printer_FDQN%9100
:mx=0
As you can see, the entry is trivial. The printer is an HP laserjet. It is
possible to send a job through the port 9100 with netcat.
What happens when I launch a job is that the job is accepted by lpr, but
nothing is printed. Moreover, a new lpd process is running and consumes 100%
of the CPU time; it never dies and I need to 1° kill the process and 2°
empty
the queue.
I've checked with several versions of LPRng, but no changes.
Anyone an idea?
Regards,
Eric
