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;

rlprrc

rlprrc(5)						       UNIX Reference Manual							 rlprrc(5)

NAME

       rlprrc - remote printing resource file

DESCRIPTION

       The  rlprrc  configuration  file is consulted by the remote printing commands (rlpr(1), rlpq(1), and rlprm(1)) to resolve a printqueue or a
       hostname. It can be used to either lookup a printqueue (printer) for a given host, or a host for a given printqueue.  If both  the  printer
       and the printhost are known, this file is never consulted.

       Initially,  the	remote printing commands look for the file .rlprrc in the user's home directory.  If that file cannot be found or does not
       provide the information necessary to resolve the query, then the system-wide /etc/rlprrc is consulted (if present).  If resolution is still
       unsuccessful, the command fails.

       There is one entry per line - each line has the format:

       hostname: printer1 printer2 ... printerN

       Which  indicates  that  host hostname has printers printer1 printer2 ... printerN available.  In the case where the remote printing command
       knows the host to print to but does not know which printer to use on that host, the first one (printer1 here) will be used.

       In the case where the remote printing command knows the printqueue (printer) to print to but does not know what host has  that  queue,  the
       last  host  which has the specified printqueue is used.	If this behavior is not acceptable, you can force a certain host to always be used
       for a certain printqueue by putting a ! after the printqueue name.

       For example, an .rlprrc file containing:

	      foo.baz.org: litho laserjet4!
	      foo.bar.org: laserjet4 lineprinter

       will always resolve the printqueue laserjet4 to foo.baz.org no matter what other hosts have a printqueue named laserjet4.

       The rlprrc file is only consulted in situations where a printqueue or hostname needs to be resolved.  It is provided only  for  convenience
       and is not required.
