Eronysis,

Thanks for your input.

This is setup as Remote printer with its destination as IP address with a queue name of uschecks. This queue is actually a folder on the machine.

Once the file arrives to the destination folder, we open up software which takes that file and sends it to an actual printer.

We have found that if we restart the print services on HPUX that sometimes the file will in-fact leave the queue and arrive in the folder. In some cases it will not. It doesn't seem to matter if the software is up or not.

We did some tracing today and our network folks continue monitor.

Any addl feedback you can provide may help us further troubleshoot.

TU again

Kurt

lpq(1)                                                              Apple Inc.                                                              lpq(1)

NAME

       lpq - show printer queue status

SYNOPSIS

       lpq [ -E ] [ -U username ] [ -h server[:port] ] [ -P destination[/instance] ] [ -a ] [ -l ] [ +interval ]

DESCRIPTION

       lpq  shows the current print queue status on the named printer. Jobs queued on the default destination will be shown if no printer or class
       is specified on the command-line.

       The +interval option allows you to continuously report the jobs in the queue until the queue is empty; the list of jobs is shown once every
       interval seconds.

OPTIONS

       lpq supports the following options:

       -E
            Forces encryption when connecting to the server.

       -P destination[/instance]
            Specifies an alternate printer or class name.

       -U username
            Specifies an alternate username.

       -a
            Reports jobs on all printers.

       -h server[:port]
            Specifies an alternate server.

       -l
            Requests a more verbose (long) reporting format.
