[ I have not tested this as I don't run LDP. --r$ ]
This program (MLPD) is a little piece of code I wrote to use a single
printer queue for a set of multiple printers. It's kind of wierd to
set up, but once it is running, it should help out a lot.
The program runs under a Sun OS environment. It has been tried out
under 4.1 SunOS, and I had it tried out under a 4.3 BSD environment,
thanks to the help of nash at ucselx.sdsu.edu (Thanks, Ron!) I hope that
it works for you. Please send me all bug reports, special things that
would make your life easier, etc., so on, so forth. If you do have any
questions at all, please mail me to let me know about what you need.

XNOTE: This program is in its first testing stages. If I send it out,
X and people like it, I'll post it to the USENET network. If
X not, I'll just put it on a resume. This is the first version,
X and I have already started working on a new version that has
X many more features, all that remain very simplistic to the
X user, which is my main objective.
X
X
XNow on with the real important stuff:
X
X
XThis program (MLPD) is a little piece of code I wrote to use a single
Xprinter queue for a set of multiple printers. It's kind of wierd to
Xset up, but once it is running, it should help out a lot.
X
XHere are the steps for a clean configuration, in proper order :
X---------------------------------------------------------------
X
X1. Edit Makefile to your particular system and needs. If you are running
X under a SunOS environment, you need to define -DSUN, and if you want
X to print out hari-kari debug messages, you need to specify -DDEBUG.
X
X2. Compile the program, or get it operational. (Whichever comes first.)
X
X3. Turn off the printing to the base printer that your employees, friends,
X or students print to, and turn off queueing on the other printers. For
X example, 'lp' is your base printer (Where most people type in 'lpr'),
X and your other printers are the real printers that will be doing the
X actual printing (like 'lp1', 'lp2', etc.)
X
X4. Make sure all of the printers are properly set up in the /etc/printcap
X so that the printers can run smoothly. Make sure that your main
X printer ('lp' is your main printer, from #3.) doesn't do any printing
X and that your other printers area actually connected to the devices.
X
X5. Try it out! The command to start off the program is :
X
X mlpd -p [<base printer> <printer1> <printer2> ...] [-t <timeout>]
X
X For example, a command line following #3 and #4 would be:
X
X mlpd -p lp lp1 lp2 -t 5
X
X In this example, the main queueing printer is lp, the other printers
X are lp1 and lp2, and the timeout to check for a print job is 5 seconds.
X
X6. If it works, try to set it up in your rc.local to start up when you
X start up your system. Make sure, however, that you put the mlpd entry
X after starting up lpd. Otherwise, mlpd will not function.
X
XThe program runs under a Sun OS environment. It has been tried out
Xunder 4.1 SunOS, and I had it tried out under a 4.3 BSD environment,
Xthanks to the help of nash at ucselx.sdsu.edu (Thanks, Ron!) I hope that
Xit works for you. Please send me all bug reports, special things that
Xwould make your life easier, etc., so on, so forth. If you do have any
Xquestions at all, please mail me to let me know about what you need.
XI'll be out with a manual page soon enough. (Gotta learn a bit about
Xnroff...Too much TeX and LaTeX.)

X.SH NAME
Xmlpd \- multiple line printer daemon
X.SH SYNOPSIS
X
X.B mlpd
X[
X.B \-p <base pr> <pr1> <pr2> ...
X] [
X.B \-t <timeout>
X]
X.SH DESCRIPTION
X
X.LP
X.B mlpd
Xis a multiple line printer daemon, which is set up in your
Xrc.local (read the manual on rc (8)) script, which will monitor files
Xbeing printed on your system. mlpd will look in the base printer
Xdirectory for files, try to find jobs that need to be printed, and
Xtake those jobs and move them to any available printers. Printer jobs
Xno longer have to wait for a larger job in front of them. This allows
Xfor optimization in printing files to any number of printers.
X
X.SH OPTIONS
X
X.LP
X.SS \-p <base pr> <pr1> <pr2> ...
X
X.LP
XSpecifies the printers to print on. For example, if lp is the
Xnormal line printer to queue to, and the real printers are connected
Xlp1 and lp2, then I would specify
X.B \-p lp lp1 lp2
Xas my print options. The super-user can specify any number of printers
Xfrom the command line. The program will look up these printers in
X/etc/printcap entry to verify their existance, and use their
Xspooling directories as the directories to queue in. If the printers
Xare not in /etc/printcap, or the proper spooling directories do not
Xexist, then the program will exit and log all information to syslog().
X.LP
X.SS \-t <timeout>
X
X.LP
XSpecifies the amount of time to wait before checking the base printer
Xqueue. Normally this time is set to 2 seconds, but the user can specify
Xwhat they wish. It is normally suggested to let the default remain intact,
Xas the program will run better under this environment.
X.SH OPERATION
X.SS Operation/Syntax of Program
X.LP
XThe program runs by first trying to check all of the command line arguments,
Xand setting all of the proper printing options. Once it knows where each
Xprinter queueing directory is, it then goes out and starts into a loop,
Xwhere is calls select() for a period of seconds equal to that specified on
Xthe command line, or a default of 2 seconds. After the timeout has occurred,
Xthe daemon will go out and look for jobs in the base printer queue. If
Xit finds any jobs, it will then check to see if any of the printers specified
Xare available for printing. If one of the printers is free to print, it
Xwill send that printer the print job first available. It will continue to
Xdo this until either there are no more jobs in the printer queue, or all
Xof the printers are busy. Every 30 seconds, the printers are restarted
Xagain, in case any printer files become jammed for some reason. Should
Xthe super-user want to kill off the program, there will be a lock file in
X/etc with the name "mlpd.<base pr>.pid", which will contain the PID of
Xthe daemon running.

X.SH BUGS
X
XThe program can only allow for 512 printers. If you can edit the code,
Xyou can raise this amount, but I really didn't imagine someone trying
Xto watch over more than 512 printers.
X
XIf you start up mlpd before starting up lpd in rc.local, the program
Xwill exit, because it was not able to connect to the lpd device.
X
XThe timeout value is set to 2 seconds, so if this begins to slow your
Xsystem down, increase this value. I would not suggest lowering it.
X
XIf you find something else wrong with it, please let me know. I'm ever
Xwilling to fix anything wrong with it, add new functionality, and so forth.
