Basically the printer forze for ~5 mins last night and I can see a gap in the timings 19:43 to 19:51 in this file but don't know what it means? Any ideas?

Huh, you mean you don't know? I'll tell you but it'll cost ya 10 points.

Was there any network problem during that time?? Any problem with printer??

How this printer is configured?? IF with JetDirect, then do hpnpadmin -v "printer_ip"

Does it list any problems. to check if there were any network problems, check syslog, dmesg and do as follows.

netfmt /var/adm/nettl.LOGxxx

No there is nothing in any of the usual logs... the printer is a remote lp printer.. it works fine... I was really wondering the difference bewtween:

FIFO: Apr 6 19:43 m RFLABEL1 18595
FIFO: Apr 6 19:51 r RFLABEL1 4581 RF010 nlnl3u04 0

What is the "m" and "r" signify?
