I'm using NetBSD 1.6 on the x86 platform (I know, I'll be upgrading soon)
and I've run out of print spool space. I changed /etc/printcap's entry
from /var/spool/output/printername to /work/spool/output/printername since
the /work directory has several GB's available but /var only has a few
hundred MB's available. I made sure the new directory existed and sent a
SIGHUP to lpd. This caused lpd to exit so I restarted it.
I can print using lpr but SAMBA can no longer print.
I rebooted the system (after 70+ days of running without problems other
than printer spool space issues) but I still have problems with Samba not
printing. I'm running Samba 2.0.10
Any suggestions as to where to look would be great.
The printcap entry is:
lp|hwlab:\
:rm=print:rp=hwlab:\
:sd=/work/spool/output/hwlab:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:
The print machine is running CUPS.
