Question Restarting the Spooler
Smilie Everytime our UNIXWARE 7 Server is restarted we also have to restart the spooler. If the spooler is not restarted, print jobs get stuck in the queu. Once restarted by using the following command lpstop and lpstart everything works fine.

Does anyone have any ideas what could be causing this or what can be done to fix it; without having to restart the spooler each time we restart the server?

Looking forward to your help

Thanks
