9507.0. "lps20 on UNIX V4.0: Printer not accepting jobs" by MUNICH::WENDL (OOOO - Open Object-Oriented Ogre) Tue Apr 15 1997 11:38

Hello,
        booting our lps20 with tcp/ip works

/usr/adm/syslog.dated/15-Apr-11:03/>>>grep tftpd daemon.log
...
Apr 15 16:14:14 h5j01 tftpd[13091]: sending file /tftpboot/lps.sys
Apr 15 16:14:36 h5j01 tftpd[13091]: finished sending /tftpboot/lps.sys
...
        but then the lps only shows its HW-address and VAXELN V4.5 LPS.
        ==============================================================
/>>>lpc stat lps20
lps20:
        printer is on device '/dev/null-lps20' speed -1
        queuing is enabled
        printing is enabled
        1 entry in spool area
        PrintServer host donp01 not available: Printer not accepting jobs

btw, we use 'PrintServer Software for OSF/1 AXP' V5.1 on Digital UNIX V4.0
Any help is welcome!
Thanks in advance,
Uli

>        but then the lps only shows its HW-address and VAXELN V4.5 LPS.

If the printer remains in this stage for more than 30 seconds, you need
to check the management client process in the supporting host system.
When the printer's console shows "VAXELN...," the printer is still in process 
of booting and you cannot print yet.  You can ping to printer but that's about
all you can do from standard UNIX componets at this point. 

Run /etc/lpssetup provided by V5.1 software and check the management client 
status.  I assume you have already used this script to define all the 
necessary components.  Check the installation guide and mangement guide
for more information.

Thank you, that exactly was missing!
'wouldn't have bothered you if I would have
get hold of copies of installation and mangement guides.
Good ol'time, when we just called IS...

Thanks again,

Uli
