Having a problem to a network line printer.

Printer has been turned off and on. Disabled
and enabled in que. Removed from the que and
stop and restarted lpsched.

Seem to rememeber something about FIFO and
SCHEDLOCK should be removed is this correct??

Hi James,

The SCHEDLOCK and FIFO files are created when the spooler is started. you should manully delete these files only if they don't get deleted on their own when the spooler is stopped.

Hope this helps.

hey,

You may remove those files, if it was not removed by stopping the scheduler

Both files are ok- what else to check for
at this point. Everything I send gets put
in the que and stays there.

Hi James,

Check the control panel setting on the printer. The network settings might not be correct. I had a similar problem once, when the network configuration was reset to default on the printer.

Hope this helps.

Hi James,

On your netowork printer make sure you have EtherTalk and DLC/LLC disabled and also you are able to ping the printer.

Hope this helps.
