lpstat print queue remain SENDING status
Hi All,

When I type the following command:
lpstat -pthcgl240

I get the following :
Code:
Queue   Dev   Status    Job Files              User         PP %   Blks  Cp Rnk
------- ----- --------- --- ------------------ ---------- ---- -- ----- --- ---
thcgl24 @CGBP SENDING   636 00dJNFg1.P00       p00adm                11   1   1
thcgl240: no entries

I keep on entering the lpstat command, and I getting the same results ( SENDING status for the same Job File )

Do you know what is this meant ?

I did ping the print queue : thcgl240, it is ping-able, and I did telnet to it, and I am able to do so. No idea what is this meant ..

Besides, do you know what is meant by "thcgl240: no entries" ?

Best Regards,
Ken

LEARN ABOUT SUNOS

reject

accept(1M)						  System Administration Commands						accept(1M)

NAME

       accept, reject - accept or reject print requests

SYNOPSIS

       accept destination...

       reject [-r reason] destination...

DESCRIPTION

       accept allows the queueing of print requests for the named destinations.

       reject prevents queueing of print requests for the named destinations.

       Use lpstat -a to check if destinations are accepting or rejecting print requests.

       accept and  reject must be run on the print server; they have no meaning to a client system.

OPTIONS

       The following options are supported  for reject:

       -r reason       Assigns	a reason for rejection of print requests for  destination. Enclose  reason in quotes if it contains blanks. reason
		       is reported by lpstat -a. By default, reason is unknown reason for existing destinations, and new printer for  destinations
		       added to the system but not yet accepting requests.

OPERANDS

       The following operands are supported.

       destination     The name of the destination accepting or rejecting print requests.  Destination specifies the name of a printer or class of
		       printers (see  lpadmin(1M)). Specify  destination 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.

ATTRIBUTES

       See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:

       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
       |      ATTRIBUTE TYPE	     |	    ATTRIBUTE VALUE	   |
       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
       |Availability		     |SUNWpcu			   |
       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
       |CSI			     |Enabled (see NOTES)	   |
       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+

SEE ALSO

       enable(1), lp(1), lpstat(1), lpadmin(1M), lpsched(1M), printers.conf(4), attributes(5)

NOTES

       accept  and  reject   affect  only  queueing on the print server's spooling system. Requests made from a client system remain queued in the
       client system's queueing mechanism until they are cancelled or accepted by the print server's spooling system.

       accept is CSI-enabled except for the destination name.
