Is there a specific parameter you want ??
The que is working fine except when there is a 30
min delay between two printjobs. After power off/on
the printer prints the queued jobs.

| 938.3 | which parameter - all of them for that printer. | KERNEL::COFFEYJ | La Feline Flooz - a unix cat | Tue Apr 22 1997 12:39 | 34 |
| >Is there a specific parameter you want ??
No not really but when asking for help
it usually makes it easier for those trying to
help if they have all the data.
With printing calls the /etc/printcap entry for
that printer is the very basic starting point
to make sure there's nothing very basic/blatantly
obviously wrong in the setup.
Also you say remote queue.
If you really mean remote there'll only be about
4 parameters set anyway. If what you actually
mean is a network printer then every parameter
is relevant.
If it's set up as remote your problem is very likely
with the printer.
Still you've reminded me I still haven't logged the
QAR begging and grovelling for proper debugging like we
had in Ultrix to be put into digital Unix's lpd.
Life became so much harder as a unix printing support
person when that was all stripped out and suddenly the
incantation "dee bee hash nine" no longer worked magic...

| Here are a couple of other things that might help:
1. What does the little status window say? Is the printer ONLINE and Idle, or
in some other state?
2. Do you have software anywhere else trying to connect to the printer? These
symptoms sound a bit like someone else getting a connection to the printer and
then hanging on to it.
Also, if you are using V4.0{A, B, or C}, you might want to try the tcp/ip
connection method which was introduced in V4.
And for the Ultrix lovers, some Ultrix style debugging features are being
planned and implemented, as I type, for the next major release..

Hi,
I'm facing a similar problem. The customer uses the printer with no
problem. After 3 or 4 hours without using the printer it doesn't print
any job, doesn't answer any ping and only a reset solves the problem.
The customer har 3 different printer and the problem happens with all
of them. There are ten Digital UNIX systems printing on them using nic
filter. One of these systems is a Pathworks server and has a service
defined for each printer. The printer affected by this problem are:
il001air (laser1 for Pathworks)
il002air (laser2 for Pathworks)
il003air (laser3 for Pathworks)
The status shown in the printer display is "IDLE"
Here is the customer's printcap:
#
il001air|lp|NICprinter1|il001air:\
:if=/usr/nic/infilter:\
:lp=/dev/nic/il001air:\
:of=/usr/nic/outfilter:\
:sd=/usr/spool/il001air:\
:sh:
#
#
il002air|lp|NICprinter2|il002air:\

:lf=/usr/net/servers/lanman/logs/lplogs/laser3:\
:lp=/dev/null:\
:if=/usr/lbin/pcsaclass:\
:sd=/usr/net/servers/lanman/spool/laser3:
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
