When I do an lps if one of the oki printers is offline or anything, the lps command hangs for like 5 minutes and I cant continue. Is there a setting somewhere that I can shorten this time to like 1 second? Either its there or its not, so sense to keep searching. HPUX 10.20 on an HP9000 K220. Thanks!
