how can I reset printer request number to 1 or 100
where my request id number now is 27627
thanx

until know there is no way to reset it, just why do you want to reset it, currently now ihad number 12099789 on a server with 3 years working and doesn't have any problem with jobs, good luck if you find the answer just pos it!!

HI
first thank you I will try to find and solve it

For SCO openserver

In the directory /usr/spool/lp/temp there will be a file called .SEQF

if you page that file you will see something like this

1:999999:1:69510

This file is configured thusly, Start number: End number : Increment: Current ID number.

So in the above it reads that the first ID number is 1, the largest ID number is 999999, requests ID numbers will be incremented by 1, and that the current ID number is 69510. If you shutdown the print schedular you can then edit these numbers to what ever you want, save the file and then restart the print spooler.

So if you wanted to reset your printer ID numbers to 100 you would need to change the .SEQF file to read

1:999999:1:100

Hi

it is done

thank you very mutch
