LPRNG Error Messages

Where can I find the log file?

Look for the lf entry in /etc/printcap for the log file.

lpdomatic: unable to evaluate datablob

This problem can also happen when one uses LPRng and sets up the /etc/printcap for an lpdomatic queue as described for stock LPD on LPDDocumentation

To solve the problem the /etc/printcap has to be set up as described for LPRng on the mentioned page and the accounting information has to be removed from the printer description file. Or one re-downloads the printer description file.
