Printing via hpnpf versus lp
Hi,
We have a Unix 3.2v5.0.5.
I installed a printer via scoadmin, HP network printer manager with network peripheral name an ip-adress.
This is the configuration file :
Code:
root@sco1 # cat configurationBanner: on:AlwaysContent types: simpleDevice: /dev/null
Interface: /usr/spool/lp/model/HPLaserJetPrinter
type: unknown
Number of banners: 0
root@sco1 #
Printing worked fine from the unix via the lp-command.
But now I had to change the IP-adres from the printer. I did this via scoadmin.
Printer won't print anymore.
In scoadmin/Printers/HP network printer manager/ Test printer activity
There I print a textfile (/usr/lib/hpnp/hpnpf -n -v -R -x pr50 textfile
This works.
But printing the same file with
lp -dpr50 textfile
doesn't work.
I see the job in the spooler, but there is no printing.
I do not understand this. The problem is now that the whole application doesn't print anymore. So it is quite problematic.
I didn't reboot the unix, but I retarted the spooler. But no luck.
Thanks;

I am copying a file system to another one. someone suggest me use
find . -print |cpio -pdmv
but I think cp -r should do the same thing. Am I right?
In addition, by using " find . ", I got all the file names,, why do I have to use the -print option?
Thanks a lot! (1 Reply)

disable
enable(1) User Commands enable(1)
NAME
enable, disable - enable/disable LP printers
SYNOPSIS
/usr/bin/enable printer...
/usr/bin/disable [-c | -W] [ -r [reason]] printer...
DESCRIPTION
The enable command activates printers, enabling them to print requests submitted by the lp command. enable must be run on the printer
server.
The disable command deactivates printers, disabling them from printing requests submitted by the lp command. By default, any requests that
are currently printing on printer will be reprinted in their entirety either on printer or another member of the same class of printers.
The disable command must be run on the print server.
Use lpstat -p to check the status of printers.
enable and disable only effect queueing on the print server's spooling system. Executing these commands from a client system will have no
effect on the server.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported for use with disable:
-c Cancels any requests that are currently printing on printer. This option cannot be used with the -W option. If the printer
is remote, the -c option will be silently ignored.
-W Waits until the request currently being printed is finished before disabling printer. This option cannot be used with the
-c option. If the printer is remote, the -W option will be silently ignored.
-r [reason] Assigns a reason for the disabling of the printer(s). This reason applies to all printers specified. This reason is
reported by lpstat -p. Enclose reason in quotes if it contains blanks. The default reason is "unknown reason" for the
existing printer, and "new printer" for a printer added to the system but not yet enabled.
OPERANDS
The following operand is supported for both enable and disable:
printer The name of the printer to be enabled or disabled. Specify printer using atomic name. See printers.conf(4) for information
regarding the naming conventions for atomic names.
EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned:
0 Successful completion.
non-zero An error occurred.
FILES
/var/spool/lp/* LP print queue.
