Cannot open shared memory for write access

[Silverstreak]

Hi,

I've recently bought you Retro-printer and starting to use it.

I've got CUPS up and running, and can see that it quite happily generates PDFs (I am amazed by this already). However, although it can see my printer and happily prints the test page, it won't output the PDFs.

I get a message "Cannot open shared memory for write access" in the error log.

Any thoughts?,

Cheers,

Anthony

First of all check that /root/config/output_printer is set to yes, and the new printer is set to the default printer under CUPS as this is easily overlooked.

I would love to get rid of the error "cannot open shared memory" but it happens because one end of the pipe opens before the other (and we don't really control the order it gets opened in between the various tasks).
