Sometime when DNS server has to be restart or hang, many printers that are trying to print just disable. Then I need to go in SAM and enable all of them. Is there a way to tell UNIX to retry or wait? Can you help?<BR /> <BR /> Tkx</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>P.S. this thread has been moved&nbsp;from Servers - Experts Online Now!!! &gt; Itanium Based - Experts Online Now!!! to HP-UX &gt; sysadmin&nbsp;<SPAN>- Hp Forums moderator</SPAN></P> Fri, 15 Mar 2013 02:44:46 GMT CA484857 2013-03-15T02:44:46Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-hp-ux/printers-disable/m-p/621807#M483550 <P>Hello, <BR /> <BR /> I am running HPUX 11.23 on Intanium.
