getting issue wth hp ux printer

[ashraf083]

We have around 100 printer connected to our hp ux server.out of that few printer not working,and recieving the following error.If try to enable purticular printer then we geting error like printer non-existent.the printer reachable from server via ping

lp: destination "FIN_ZONIK" non-existent
Pasta: Error: Print failed. Command=lp -c -dFIN_ZONIK  /oracle/apps/prodcomn/temp/pasta21557_0.tmp
Pasta: Error: Check printCommand/ntPrintCommand in pasta.cfg
Pasta: Error: Preprocess or Print command failed!!!

The problem:

lp: destination "FIN_ZONIK" non-existent

is that someone has removed the definition of this printer in the HP-UX spooling system.

For a list of all the currently defined printers:

# lpstat -v

 Or better yet,

# lpstat -v | grep FIN_ZONIK

 If nothing comes back from grep, you'll need to add the printer to the spooler.

hi,

I run the same command.am getting this output

exap02:/>lpstat -v | grep FIN_ZONIK
device for rp_FIN_ZONIK: /dev/null
device for FIN_ZONIK: /dev/null
exap02:/>

but print not happening.How to solve this issue?it affected all our store printers.

What does this command show?

# lpstat -pFIN_ZONIK

[ashraf083]

am getting this

exap02:/>lpstat -p FIN_ZONIK
lpstat: "FIN_ZONIK" not a request id or a destination

[Bill Hassell]

OK, since it says it doesn't exist (even though lpstat -v seems to show something), try adding the printer back into the spooler again.

>>lpstat -p FIN_ZONIK

No spaces are allowed between -p and name.

[ashraf083]

exap02:/>lpstat -pFIN_ZONIK
lpstat: printer "FIN_ZONIK" non-existent

all printers have same issue.around 50+ printers suddenly stopped print.

and i can see the printer config on sam under printers and pollers
