Hi Bosses!

We are facing a problem with printing on our hp-ux 11.23. The spooler, scheduler are all running but we cannot print to any of our network printers.

Any help?

Thank you

Can you ping the name and IP of the network printers?

Hello,

is it an HP printer ? what kind of tools are you using to print documents ?

try to get information from this link and verify if printer is installed correctly:

http://www.digitalissues.co.uk/html/os/unix/hpux.html

try to restard spooler and see if work :

1) Stop the lp spooler.
# /usr/sbin/lpshut

Restart the spooler
# /usr/sbin/lpsched

***********************

* Add new printer : *

***********************

Command Line directions

1. Login as root. (you have already setup your name/address resolution right?)
2. Stop the lp spooler.
    # /usr/sbin/lpshut
3. Add the printer
    # /usr/sbin/lpadmin -pNEW_PTR_NAME -v/dev/null -mrmodel -ob3 -ocmrcmodel -osmrsmodel -orc -ormHOST -orpQUEUE
an explanation of each field above follows
4. Accept and enable the new printer
    # /usr/sbin/accept NEW_PTR_NAME
    # /usr/bin/enable NEW_PTR_NAME
5. Restart the spooler
    # /usr/sbin/lpsched

Have a good luck,

Regards,

What does lpstat show for your printers?

Are they connect to remove or to network printers?
