About the version it is the simpler part of
your query.
Version used is : 5.4.2 with diffs from 28.08.2000
on "native" apsfilter system FreeBSD 4.1-STABLE.
As about log file let us see it together under
premise that we both have lot things to do beyond
just to fake output.It is how my apsfilter relevant things are set(just
copies from the files):
bash-2.03$ less /usr/local/apsfilter/bin/apsfilter set -x
PRINT_TO_FILE="yes" # set to empty string ("") to disable
KEEP_PRINTOUT="yes" # set to keep $TMP_PRINTOUT
POSTPROCESS_PRINTOUT="yes" # set to pipe it through PRINT_PS (gs)
It is what seems to be DEBUG relevant.
Now for /etc/printcap:
:lf=/var/spool/lpd/printer1-bj200-a4-auto-default/log:\
:lf=/var/spool/lpd/printer1-bj200-a4-raw/log:\
And the files are indeed here but pay attention
to their size and it is condition AFTER I have
tried to print something.
-rw-r--r-- 1 root daemon 0 Sep 1 19:07
/var/spool/lpd/printer1-bj200-a4-auto-default/log
-rw-r--r-- 1 root daemon 0 Sep 1 19:07
/var/spool/lpd/printer1-bj200-a4-raw/log
And debug session were carried out on 2 September.
Besides , after sending file to printer
lpq shows no entries in queue.
So I would like to now what should I do to be helpful to you in
providing needed information.
As already said tiger test printer has passed
seemlessly.
