READ.ME for the latest Print code: Description: ------------ This package provides replacement files for LPD.EXE, LPQ.EXE, LPR.EXE, LPRM.EXE, LPRMON.EXE, LPRPORTD.EXE, PDRVR.PDR, and LPR32.DLL. To date, these are the only files in the PRINT component that have had apar fixes made to them in OS/2 Warp v3.0 TCP/IP. Installation instructions: -------------------------- You must have the following installed on your system: - OS/2 version 3.0 with TCP/IP v3.0 TCP/IP Stack Apar IC14052 is a prerequisite for this print code. You should put the LPRFILES.EXE file in a temporary subdirectory and enter: LPRFILES LPRFILES.EXE file contents: -------------------------- READ.ME LPD.EXE 39366 4-23-97 8:24a LPQ.EXE 27248 8-07-97 2:01p LPR.EXE 44784 8-07-97 2:00p LPRM.EXE 27840 8-07-97 2:02p LPRMON.EXE 35009 8-05-97 1:04p LPRPORTD.EXE 65946 4-16-97 7:15a LPRPDRVR.PDR 52241 3-21-97 7:08a LPR32.DLL 63694 8-05-97 12:58p TNLS16.DLL 47104 4-09-97 7:51a You should back up the current versions of these files on your system. Then replace the *.EXE files in the TCPIP\BIN directory, and the LPRPDRVR.PDR, LPR32.DLL, and TNLS16.DLL files in the TCP\DLL directory. Then SHUTDOWN and REBOOT the system to make these executables and the corresponding dlls active. Apars included in this group of fixes with a brief description: (executables and/or dlls fixed) -------------------------------------------------- IC13719 - After applying CSD u200067 for warp connect, the LPRMON exe does not recognize the set (lpr_server and lpr_printer) environment variables. This is because the DHCP support added in the module getopts.c only looked at the tcpos2.ini file for the lpr_server and lpr_printer fields and failed to check the environment variables.(lprmon.exe) IC15168 - Module LCLLPR.C in the LPR component does not return a nonzero return code for an error on a DOSOPEN (filename). LPR returns with a zero return code on a failure case. (lpr.exe) IC15573 - When starting LPRPORTD from the command line on a pristine installed system, the error message "LPR 32.DLL failed to initialize, RC=-20021" is displayed. (lpd.exe, lpq.exe, lpr.exe, lprm.exe, lprmon.exe, lprportd.exe, lpr32.dll) IC15752 - When a customer opens the printer object and then opens the PIPE/LPD port settings, the PMSHELL grabs the port driver making it impossible for another process to print thereby locking the print jobs. If you do try to print, the spooler will either trap or hang the print job. (lprpdrvr.pdr) IC15763 - The LPRPORTD.EXE process can trap when two jobs are printing at the same time in two different printer queues each configured to output to a different \PIPE\LPDx pipe. It will not trap every print job, but it will trap. In our tests, it traps within 10 minutes of IPL with a nominal load. (lpr32.dll) IC16508 - SYS3175 with access violation in SETLOC1.DLL when LPRPORTD tries to access a printer that is turned off or unavailable.(lpr32.dll) IC16807 - When customer attempts to send a very large print job to the server using LPR on the client, the lpd window will fail with a SYS3175 error. The register contents show TNLS16.DLL as the failing module. They are able to LPR small print jobs, but when the jobs get very large, such as 100MB, they get this failure every time. (lpd.exe, tnls16.dll) IC17041 - Provides DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) support for the LPR print function. Also, NLS translation problems were fixed that prevented translated messages from being displayed. ( lpd.exe, lpq.exe, lpr.exe, lprm.exe, lprmon.exe, lprportd.exe, lpr32.dll, lprpdrvr.pdr) IC17322 - Printing of files using LPRPORTD.EXE takes excessive amounts of time. A 300K file takes between 5.0 to 6.5 minutes to print. This is due to the fact that writes to the named pipe are occurring in 1K blocks and at 1.0 sec cycle increments. (lprportd.exe) IC17589 - Customer has 14 printers and 14 print queues on print server. Customer is limited to accessing only ports (721 - 731) at one time. The customer sees a 3 minute delay on the additional 4 queues after the print jobs are complete on the first 10 queues. (lpr32.dll) IC18394 - Incorrect messages received for lprportd, lpr,lpq, lprm and lprmon commands. This happens on translated messages.
