[SOLVED] lpstat error: add '/version=1.1' to server name.
by elliot01 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4S3KW)
Hi all,
We have a Centreon/Nagios system (on CentOS7) which runs a check against our ERP servers (RHEL6 & 7) to obtain the current length of the CUPS queues.
The command is effectively 'lpstat -h servername -o /tmp/randomfile'
This has been working sweet for years, but since a 'yum update' (on the Centreon server) a couple of weeks back, the check now fails, with the following error:
lpstat: Error - add '/version=1.1' to server name.
I have looked around for a solution (I don't want to roll the 'yum update' back), but am struggling to find a suitable fix.
Most suggestions are to update my /etc/cups/client.conf file, by adding '/version=1.1' to the ServerName parameter. My Centreon server (the client?) doesn't have this config file. It doesn't even have a cups folder (as CUPS is not installed, or required, on this server).
I can not change anything on the remote linux servers as they are production ERP systems and I don't want to risking shafting anything.
I don't understand why lpstat (or any of the other family of commands) doesn't just allow a switch ( --version ) to enforce the CUPS version.
Can anyone offer any suggestions on how I can get a lpstat to connect to an older CUPS server successfully (i.e.: working around the version=1.1 requirement thing), considering my above restrictions?
Thanks in advance for reading.
Kind regards,
Elliot
