Printer transfer - queues not working
I migrated printers (like I have done in the past) using /usr/sam/lbin/lpmgr -S. but now none of the printers are working on the new system.
Is there a setting I need to change or a service I need to start.
The original system was 11.11i and the new systems was 11.00. I know why would anyone do this, but still. Any insight? The print outs go into the queue but they never leave (unless I cancel them. Syslog and lpd.log do not show anything. What else can I look at?

Re: Printer transfer - queues not working
Is lpsched running?
What do lpstat -o and lpstat -v show for the queues?
Check the permissions on the /etc/lp, var/lp and compare them the the old server (actually the newer 11i server).

Re: Printer transfer - queues not working
If you don't find anything do the following.
1. /sbin/init.d/lp stop
2. ps -ef | grep lp ( and kill any leftover lp processes)
3. cd /var/spool/lp
4. delete the FIFO, SCHEDLOCK, and any lock files.
5. cp /dev/null outputq
6. cp /dev/null log
7. /sbin/init.d/lp start
Ensure the lpsched is running and print a test file. Check the /var/spool/lp/log for any hints.
