what OS version are you running?

Try to stop and start scheduler.
lpshut
lpsched

Can you ping DMQ1?

Probably the easist thing to do is do an lpshut, remove and reinstall the printer, and then lpsched.

You can ensure that the IP was changed for the printer in the PATH of /etc/lp/interface/model.orig/

or as stated, the easiest is to remove and then readd the printer

I am not ablt remove the printer using lpadmin -x as it states there are jobs queued.Also starnge is the fact that lpstat -a says
root@ah20 # lpstat -a |grep -i DMQ1
DMQ1 accepting requests since Jul 11 15:25

Not sure what the issue is. How will remove it?

Thanks

Use the cancel command to get rid of the requests or the lpmove command to move them to another queue. Is this a "Network" (in HP-UX speak) or a "Remote" printer?
