Sco Unix printing : jobs hangs in queue - printing via lp versus hpnpf
Hi,

We have a Unix 3.2v5.0.5.
I installed a printer via scoadmin, HP network printer manager with network peripheral name (hostname and ipadres are in /etc/hosts).

This is the configuration file :

Code:
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 in the /etc/hosts file and then restarted the printservices via lpshut and lpsched.

In scoadmin/Printers/HP network printer manager/ Test printer activity
There I print a textfile (
Code:
/usr/lib/hpnp/hpnpf -n -v -R -x pr50 textfile

This works perfect

But printing the same file with
Code:
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.

Did I forgot something ?

Thanks;

cupsaccept

cupsaccept(8)							    Apple Inc.							     cupsaccept(8)

NAME

       cupsaccept/cupsreject - accept/reject jobs sent to a destination

SYNOPSIS

       cupsaccept [ -E ] [ -U username ] [ -h hostname[:port] ] destination(s)
       cupsreject [ -E ] [ -U username ] [ -h hostname[:port] ] [ -r reason ] destination(s)

DESCRIPTION

       The cupsaccept command instructs the printing system to accept print jobs to the specified destinations.

       The cupsreject command instructs the printing system to reject print jobs to the specified destinations.  The -r option sets the reason for
       rejecting print jobs. If not specified, the reason defaults to "Reason Unknown".

OPTIONS

       The following options are supported by both cupsaccept and cupsreject:

       -E   Forces encryption when connecting to the server.

       -U username
	    Sets the username that is sent when connecting to the server.

       -h hostname[:port]
	    Chooses an alternate server.

       -r "reason"
	    Sets the reason string that is shown for a printer that is rejecting jobs.

CONFORMING TO

       The cupsaccept and cupsreject commands correspond to the System V printing system commands "accept" and "reject", respectively.	Unlike the
       System  V  printing system, CUPS allows printer names to contain any printable character except SPACE, TAB, "/", or "#".  Also, printer and
       class names are not case-sensitive.

       Finally, the CUPS versions may ask the user for an access password depending on the printing system configuration.
