Error when trying to print.

[D. Jackson_1]

No system default destination.
I am trying to print a test page to queue flq and I get no system default destination.
I do lpadmin -d mcq(it is this on another box). I then get system default destination:mcq NO entries , my test page does not print. This same box is running openspool where as the other is not.. Is there a conflict with openspool and lp???

What am I doing wrong???


Thanks DJ

I checked the man pages on npadmin..
Do I need to turn the lp imulation "on" in order to print test pages from the command line using lp -dprinter????

When you run "lpstat -t", does your printer enabled? If it is not, running, then logon as root and give "enable ". Also check your scheduler is running? If not running then as root and give "lpsched".

Yes- I did enable my printer and made sure that the scheduler was running.
I was able to get this to work on a non openspool system..
Can anybody help???

If the printer is hard wired to another unix box, you need the "-ormmachine" switch to lpadmin. Do a man on lpadmin for further info.

Actually, using SAM would be easier.

On the box where the printer is type
lpadmin -dflq
This will set printer flq to the default on this box.

** Note there is no space after the -d
