help with DTC printers

[Fred Martin_1]

Somehow my serial (DTC) printers are screwed up; print a job to a printer based on one DTC and it shows up at another printer, different DTC.

How do I stop/restart any related printer daemons without interrupting any terminals also on the DTCs?

[Chris Wilshaw · Accepted solution]

The printers should be defined in /etc/ddfa/dp

Your best bet would probably be to reset the dtc ports,

/opt/rdtcmgr/sbin/rdtcreset

then restart the ocd daemons

/usr/sbin/ddfa /etc/ddfa/dp -k

I could reset just the printer ports.

Actually, this just got resolved - I did a ddfa stop and start:

/sbin/init.d/ddfa stop
/sbin/init.d/ddfa start

...that fixed it. No idea what that was about but I assume the ocd processes were not healthy.
