CUPS printing

[Rick Garland]

Hi all:


Inherited some RH 3.0AS systems and these systems are installed with the commercial version of ESP PrintPro (CUPS).

Has 2 servers acting as the print servers.

Add a printer on 1 of the systems it immediately propagates to the other system. I do not see rsync it rdist in play. What else could be doing this?

Also, seems that when the users submit a print job it will round robin between servers. printA goes to sys1, printB goes to sys2, printC goes to sys1, etc...

Example, had a user complaining about intermittasnt print problems. 1st submission of print would not work. 2nd submission would work.

We stop/restarted CUPS on the servers and all is working fine now.

How does this work? How to tell which print server the print job went to?

Many thanks

I think that may be an Implicit Classes option. Is enabled by default.

/etc/cups/cupsd.conf

ImplicitClasses off

Looked at this option and you're right, it is set to YES.

Many thanks
