Print Queues

[Qcheck]

Hi All,

When I tried to remove a print queue remotley(script) it errored out saying the couldn't remove the print queue. And when I tried to add the same print queue remotley(script) it says it exists. So when I tried to remove the print queue from the server itself, it says "Could not cancel jobs for fooprinter". And when I checked with lpstat there are no jobs. I checked from sam and found that the particular print queue was neither enabled to print nor accepting the requests. I mean to say, it neither says yes nor no for both "Enabled To Print" and "Accepting Requests".

Any ideas how I can fix this problem?

Thanks,
Pratibha

Hi Pratibha,

Pls check if a remoteptr script file is available in

# cd /etc/lp/member

The lpadmin command expects it to
be there.

If not available create one such file using the below command and try to delete

# touch /etc/lp/member/remoteptr
# chown lp:lp /etc/lp/member/remoteptr

# lpadmin -xremoteptr---now u should be able to delete the file.

Best Regards,
Prashanth
