Print problem
Hi,

I've configured a print queue in Unix AIX 5.2 and it is duplex print queue. If I issue a print here it is not printing in the remote site. i.e If I'm issuing a print from India to print in the printer located in the Datacentre Taiwan, user replying that they're not receiving any print out. But If try to configure print queue for the printer located in our office it is printing.

If I ping to remote server then it is pinging.

If I do telnet to the remote server it is working fine.


I've also checked the configuration of /etc/qconfig all are fine.

lp -d xxx_hplj-8100_u_tw02 /xxx/xxx/tw/reports/xxxx.2.110510.tmp

lpstat -pxxx_hplj-8100_u_tw02
Queue Dev Status Job Files User PP % Blks Cp Rnk
------- ----- --------- --- ------------------ ---------- ---- -- ----- --- ---
xxx_hpl hp@TW RUNNING 3 /xxx/xxx/tw/report root 0 100 216 1 1

lpstat -pxxx_hplj-8100_u_tw02
Queue Dev Status Job Files User PP % Blks Cp Rnk
------- ----- --------- --- ------------------ ---------- ---- -- ----- --- ---
xxx_hpl hp@TW READY


If I checks the status of the printing it says that the print completed sucessfully.

Could you please let me know the what could be the problem.

Could you please provide me the check list to trouble shoot the printing problems.

enable

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.
