Possible problem with lpspool

[Simon R Wootton]

We've started using lpspool on a N4000 machine running HPUX 11.00 (5 years old now).

When a printer is moved, or the machine is rebooted, we have to stop/start the spooler to get the printer(s) happy again.

It just seems a little sensitive really, maybe there are some patches/updates.

All help rewarded - thanks in advance

Simon,

At the very least I would make sure I had the lp spool subsystem cumulative patch applied:

You can look in /var/adm/lp/log. There might be some helpful messages in there.
