Print queue problems
I am using AIX 5.
Just swapped over an HP printer.
The old printer was on a JetDirect box. The new printer connects directly to the network. Using the same IP address to print to, so the only alteration I made was to edit the etc/qconfig file to alter the port setting from 9103 to 9100. I can print to the new printer. I can see the pages coming out. However, the jobs don't clear from the print queue. They are either showing as running or queued.

I´m having a lot of problems when working with message queues, both on HP-UX Systems and Sun Solaris. When we fill a queue with a messages, the system hangs and locks everything that relies on the use of IPC resources. Anyone knows how to eliminate this problem?
Thanks,

9. AIX
Hi,
We have a problem with remote printers installed on our server.
Consistently, the printer status is ready but the impressions of the queue are waiting therefore blocked. To unblock the situation, we must launch stopsrc qdaemon-s-s and startsrc qdaemon to reactivate the queue.
Thank you... (2 Replies)

Hello,
Sometimes i need to clear all the jobs of a print queue and it is really annoying to cancel one by one.
Is there a way to cancel all print jobs for a specific print queue with a single command instead of cancelling them one by one?
My AIX system is 5.3
