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
