Title: Getting a Debug (trace) file for FarPRINT

Getting a Debug (trace) file for FarPRINT

Debug Option
The FarPRINT has the following options for debug mode:

LOAD FARPRINT.NLM -debug

This turns on the debug output.  In debug mode, FARPRINT generates two debug
files. They are:

LDEBUG - for local print
RDEBUG - for remote print

These files are placed in the SYS:/ETC/NI  directory.

The debug files will chronicle the complete negotiation and communication of
FarPRINT and the remote system. Should you have problems with printing, this
information may be useful for determining at what point the process breaks
down. The sample files below show a SUCCESSFUL transfer of a print job -
both for LPD (LDEBUG) and for LPR (RDEBUG).

Note: to view the Debug files, you MUST first unload the FarPRINT NLM. As long as the FarPRINT NLM is running, the debug files will be open, and show a size of zero bytes.
