Changing print server information for a configured printer...

[Jonathan Telep_1]

I used to manage printers on old K class servers back in 1999 but seem to have forgotten how to change information about printer hosts. I have a printer that was configured to print from a certain host:

: waiting for rcbs025.rcb..com to come up

The problem is that 'rcbs025' has now changed to 'RCB00002'. What files do I need to change on the server to make the printer active again. I looked in the printer properties in SAM but changing that there wasn't an option.

Thanks.

Your best option would be configuring a new print queue with new name.
Changing configuration to reflect would require configuring/modifying many files depending upon how it is configured.

Look in t he /etc/lp/interface directory for the old printer. You will want to couple of changes besides renaming file. You also need to change certain values in files, EXAMPLE, PERIPH=

If using DNS or configured with IP will make a difference as well.
