Hi, All!
Please, help to solver some trouble with printer( by RS-232) in HP-UX 10.20. I can't remove
printer in SAM and get some message about error:
"A problem occured doing "remove Line"(Line - printer name). Stderr from this command is "/usr/sbin/remove:
destination "Line" non-existent".Unable to start remove request for "Line" because of above error(s).
What is it? What is reason for that? How solver this?

Hi Oleg

You need to ensure that you have a filename that matches the name of your printer as below

/usr/spool/lp/member/printer_name -- a file
/usr/spool/lp/interface/printer_name -- a file
/usr/spool/lp/request/printer_name -- a directory

If you find that you are getting the error 'printer_name : non-existant', you should check that these files exist and create at least an empty placeholder for any that are missing. Then you should be able to use SAM or

lpadmin -xprinter_name

to delete the printer.

Also, ensure that these printer files are owned by 'lp'.

Hi, Steve!
Thanx for ansver! I'll try your recommendation tomorrow at job. But question: how to do what this files and folder had owner "lp". Or this file/folder create only by Oper.system when I install new printer?
