lpsched effect !!

rveri — Thu, 21 Apr 2005 15:46:26 GMT

Hi ,

If I stop and start the lpscheduler , quickly is it going to affect any running jobs.

Ex: If i run this script.

echo " Adding new printer"
lpshut
lpadmin -pPR10 ......
accept PR10
enable PR10
lpsched
echo "Printer added , Scheduler running"

Is it going to affect any running print job.

Please suggest,

Thanks ,
Veri.

Any time you add or remove a printer, you will stop the spooler. Usually just a short time.

More info, using the jetadmin/hppi it will stop and restart scheduler itself. My experience has been a short pause in print jobs but then printing is resumed from page it left off.

I believe this depends on the type of printer and/or the configuration.

any print jobs that are currently running will stop

Any jobs that are queued will still be queued when the sched restarts and will print accordingly.

The time we have issues if there is a page count or something confirgured for that particular job.

Any requests that were printing when lpshut is run will be reprinted entirely when lpsched is restarted.

If there are print jobs that are queued, it will be stalled (when lpshut is executed) but will be printed anyways when the lp is restarted using lpsched.
