Can't add anymore a printer to JetDirect

[Thierry Doppler]

Hi,

I have the following problem with Jetdirect on an rx2620 with HP-UX 11.23 :
I installed many printer by the same way, an deleted others. I deleted one named "ch29". But I have to reinstall it with the same name, but when I'm confirming with "0", i have the following message :
"Addprinter error: can't find /usr/spool/lp/interface/ch29"
Effectively, this file don't exist. But If I try to install it with an other name, for exemple "ch88", a file /usr/spool/lp/interface/ch88 is created, and then erased if i delete the ch88.
I would like to reuse the name ch29 ? Can I somewhere initialize the name or a device-file ?
Thanks you for your help.

Thierry

Make sure there are no references to that printer anywhere on the system (delete if there are):

find / -name ch29

Make sure there are no jobs for it

lpstat -pch29 -vch29

Try adding from the command line:

/opt/hpnpl/bin/addqueue -i 9998 -q ch29 -h ch29.yourdomain.com

Try also stopping/startig the spooler then retry adding....
