Print queue not getting flushed
Hi All,

I am new to HP-UX and new to administration world. I have a problem with two HP Laser Jet M5035MFP printers which are connected to HP-UX host machines. Problem is that whenver we print a job, the job gets printed very fine but the queue is not cleared. This makes the further jobs on the same printers to stop working. We have to then manually clear the queues.

I have already tried re-installing the printers on this host but the situation is same. Help needed !!

Hello,

The printers are connected remotely and we are able to access them. Jobs are also getting printed.

We have installed them using sam utility.
