5277.0. "UCX$TELNET - open_socket_ast with bad IOSB" by OTOOA::GMACDONALD (Its badluck to be superstitious) Mon Feb 24 1997 15:38

Hi.  I need some help with using the UCX$TELNETSYM.  I have 4 queues setup
using this symbiont to print to HP network printers using Jet Direct cards.
Printing seems to be working fine most of the time, but we are getting the
following errors in the OPERATOR.LOG:

UCX$TELNETSYM - (printername) open_socket_ast invoked with bad IOSB 660: connect
to network object rejected.

- and -

UCX$TELNETSYM - (printername) open_socket_ast invoked with bad IOSB 556: device
timeout

The queues were initialized as follows:

$ INIT/QUE/ON=nodename::"HPPRINT:9100"/PROC=UCX$TELNETSYM/START -
	/LIB=PWRK$DEVCTL_HP_LASERJET/SEPARATE=RESET=RESET HPPRINT

Does anybody have any suggestions as to what may be causing the above?

Thanks. Grant.

Sounds like the ucx$telnetsym_idle_timeout again... See a couple of notes
ago...

This looks like a network reachability problem. Can you still ping the
printer when this happens?

I can't find the note that you mention above (DIR/TITLE=TELNETSYM)  Any
pointers?

These HP's have a similar timer themselves, default 90 secs. The timer for
the telnet symbiont should be less.
