<p><br>Hiya, all.
<p>I'm using hpoj with RedHat 6.2. Instead of activating ptal-printd from
rc.local, I thought it'd be easier to have a separate init script for it.
So I've written up the following script to load ptal-printd as a daemon:
<blockquote><tt>#!/bin/sh</tt>
<br><tt>#</tt>
<br><tt># ptal-printd Startup script for the PTAL-print daemon</tt>
<br><tt>#</tt>
<br><tt># chkconfig: 345 60 60</tt>
<br><tt># description: PTAL permits printing on HP OfficeJet printer connected
\</tt>
<br><tt>#
to a local parallel port, or remotely to an HP JetDirect \</tt>
<br><tt>#
network print server.</tt>
<br><tt># processname: ptal-printd</tt>
<br><tt># config: /etc/ptal-printd.conf</tt>
<p><tt># Source function library.</tt>
<br><tt>. /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions</tt>
<p><tt>RETVAL=0</tt>
<p><tt># See how we were called</tt>
<br><tt>case "$1" in</tt>
<br><tt> start)</tt>
<br><tt> # Start daemon</tt>
<br><tt> if [ ! -f /var/lock/subsys/ptal-printd
]; then</tt>
<br><tt>
echo -n "Starting ptal-printd: "</tt>
<br><tt>
eval `sed -n 's@^\([^#].*\)@\(ptal-printd \1 \&\);@p' /etc/ptal-printd.conf`</tt>
<br><tt>
touch /var/lock/subsys/ptal-printd</tt>
<br><tt>
success "ptal-printd startup"</tt>
<br><tt>
echo</tt>
<br><tt> fi</tt>
<br><tt> ;;</tt>
<br><tt> stop)</tt>
<br><tt> # Stop daemon</tt>
<br><tt> echo -n "Shutting down
ptal-printd: "</tt>
<br><tt> killproc ptal-printd</tt>
<br><tt> RETVAL=$?</tt>
<br><tt> [ $RETVAL -eq 0 ] &&
rm -f /var/lock/subsys/ptal-printd</tt>
<br><tt> echo</tt>
<br><tt> ;;</tt>
<br><tt> status)</tt>
<br><tt> status ptal-printd</tt>
<br><tt> RETVAL=$?</tt>
<br><tt> ;;</tt>
<br><tt> restart|reload)</tt>
<br><tt> $0 stop</tt>
<br><tt> $0 start</tt>
<br><tt> RETVAL=$?</tt>
<br><tt> ;;</tt>
<br><tt> *)</tt>
<br><tt> echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop|restart|reload|status}"</tt>
<br><tt> exit 1</tt>
<br><tt>esac</tt>
<p><tt>exit $RETVAL</tt></blockquote>

<p>Hi, Joe. I decided to go ahead and add ptal-printd, because in
my experience
<br>printing with hpoj has been a support nightmare without it. :-)
<p>I committed ptal-printd to CVS and rewrote large portions of PRINT-HOWTO.
<br>The command-line syntax of ptal-printd has changed, and I think I've
fixed
<br>the security issues to my liking now. Please try it out and let
me know
<br>ASAP if there are any remaining problems.
<p>On a different matter, I did manage to reproduce the xojpanel "no-start"
<br>problem, with 64 failures in 500 tries, but I haven't yet gotten down
to
<br>root cause. I'll put that down as a TODO for 0.8. :-)

<p>Hi,
<p>just installed 2.2.18 here on my SMP machine.
<p>Added hpoj 0.6 + the patch recommended for SMP
<br>on the HpOj web-page.
<p>Some feedback:
<p>1. Scanning is awfully slow
<br>2. Printing worked until I used the ieee12844_print when the
<br> driver froze . It didn't crash the system as when I tested
the
<br> hpoj package (version 0.3) last time though. . :-)
<br>3. The scanned colors seem to be very far from the "real" colors
<br> especially green, which is more dark blue than green.
<p>BRGDS and thanks for patching up HP:s disability to make a Linux
driver
