AIX v5.2 Printer Question

Hi All,

I have an AIX server runing v5.2.0.0 OS and i am trying to print to a printer attached to the parallel port. I have successfully configured a printer and a print queue. However, when i submit the job i get the following error

Message from queueing system:
0781-088 Queue z:lp0 went down, job is still queued:
Backend: /usr/lib/lpd/piobe //TestZeb6Prt.txt
Backend Exit Value: EXITFATAL (0100)
Job Submit Time: Jun 21 17:59:07 2005. Current Time: Jun 21 17:59:28 2005
Use local problem reporting procedures.
<EOT>

The printer in question is a Zebra S600 label printer.

Appreciate your help.

It seems your printer is down.

Did you tried ping and telnet to the printer IP from AIX server which you are trying to configure??

AIX by default device driver for Zebra printers will not be install as it is thrid party printer.

It is advicable to setup queues as 'ascii' and let the printer do the res or ask for the vender to provide device driver for AIX.
