AIX 4.3 - Need help - Printers not working
I am running an old IBM P-Series server running AIX 4.3 (I know a dinosaur). The OS has not been updated.

We had a hard drive failure last weekend, and I was able to get most of the system back up, however, I have 3 line printers and 3 label printers that I can not get working. I have tried everything I can find online with no luck.

My former programmer (who set the system up and managed it) passed away last year.

I hope that there is someone who can either call me or if you are in the Dallas area, come by and help me get up and running.

The line printers are 2 Okidata Microline 4410 and an IBM (Ricoh) 6500.

The label printers are DataMax.

Please help, i'm stuck in the mud.

lpstat-cups

lpstat(1)						      Easy Software Products							 lpstat(1)

NAME

       lpstat - print cups status information

SYNOPSIS

       lpstat [ -E ] [ -a [ destination(s) ] ] [ -c [ class(es) ] [ -d ] [ -h server ] [ -l ] [ -o [ destination(s) ] ] [ -p [ printer(s) ] ] [ -r
       ] [ -R ] [ -s ] [ -t ] [ -u [ user(s) ] ] [ -v [ printer(s) ] [ -W [ which-jobs ] ]

DESCRIPTION

       lpstat displays status information about the current classes, jobs, and printers. When run with no arguments, lpstat will list jobs  queued
       by the user. Other options include:

       -E
	    Forces encryption when connecting to the server.

       -a [printer(s)]
	    Shows the accepting state of printer queues. If no printers are specified then all printers are listed.

       -c [class(es)]
	    Shows the printer classes and the printers that belong to them. If no classes are specified then all classes are listed.

       -d
	    Shows the current default destination.

       -h server
	    Specifies the CUPS server to communicate with.

       -l
	    Shows a long listing of printers, classes, or jobs.

       -o [destination(s)]
	    Shows the jobs queue on the specified destinations. If no destinations are specified all jobs are shown.

       -p [printer(s)]
	    Shows the printers and whether or not they are enabled for printing. If no printers are specified then all printers are listed.

       -r
	    Shows whether or not the CUPS server is running.

       -R
	    Shows the ranking of print jobs.

       -s
	    Shows  a  status  summary,	including the default destination, a list of classes and their member printers, and a list of printers and
	    their associated devices. This is equivalent to using the "-d", "-c", and "-p" options.

       -t
	    Shows all status information. This is equivalent to using the "-r", "-d", "-c", "-d", "-v", "-a", "-p", and "-o" options.

       -u [user(s)]
	    Shows a list of print jobs queued by the specified users. If no users are specified, lists the jobs queued by the current user.

       -v [printer(s)]
	    Shows the printers and what device they are attached to. If no printers are specified then all printers are listed.

       -W [which-jobs]
	    Specifies which jobs to show, completed or not-completed (the default).

COMPATIBILITY

       Unlike the System V printing system, CUPS allows printer names to contain any printable character except SPACE and TAB. Also,  printer  and
       class names are not case-sensitive.

       The "-h" option is not a standard System V option.

       The Solaris "-f", "-P", and "-S" options are silently ignored.

       The "-W" option is unique to CUPS.
