jetadmin and/or lpsched issue

[Dan Matlock_1]

I have a strange issue (most are), after normal monthly scheduled reboot my 'network' configured printers doing seem to spool print jobs and no errors that I can see.

I bounce lpsched and they work again.

The 'remote' printers work fine, just the network defined ones.

Not sure if its a patch, jetadmin, printer config, etc... issue. Quick to fix, but I shouldn't have to bounce lpsched after a reboot.

Has anyone ever heard of such a thing??

My best guess is that lp is not going through a clean shutdown. Perhaps the rc 'K' (kill) script is missing.


You could look for lp patches but this is not a normal situation. Of course, doing a monthly reboot is not really a normal situation either. The only time reboots should be needed are for the installation of patches.

You should also examine the lp log for possible clues.

Dan,

my recommendation is put in the lpspooler patch first, usually patch will fix the issue

PHCO_34993 11.11 lpspool subsystem cumulative patch
