spooler counter from 999 to 9999. How to ?

[TOMAS BERNABEU]

Hello !
when I send more than 1000 works to print, the counter jobs who arrives up to 999 gives the return and the first works are crushed.
I need increase the counter to four digits.

Over a thousand jobs at the same instant?

Hrm, ok. I could think of better ways to do thigns but, lets work with what we've got.

What print spooler are you using? Cupsd, or lpd ?

Neither of them support passing your own ID, so that would mean you'll need to grab the source, and modify the max spool jobs in there, and re-compile.

Hello Stuart !

Yes, more than 1000 in few seconds.
I am using lpd in redhat 7.1 updated.

solved problem .

man lpd.conf say :

longnumber (default: no) RFC1179 requires 3 digit job numbers; setting longnumber to yes allows 6 digit numbers.If the backwards_compatible flag is set, only 3
digit numbers will be used.

thanks !!
