Print Scheduler

[hmorrison]

Using an HP rp8400 server running HPUX 11.11 and the print scheduller has stopped responding. The print queues have hung and attempts made to stop and start the scheduler have been futile. Can anyone assist?

You are not giving much to go with here.

What does that mean? Is it running? Can you submit print jobs with "lp -dspoolname filename"?

How do you stop it and restart it? First try with "sbin/init.d/lp stop" and "sbin/init.d/lp start". Any errors? Retry with
lpshut
"ps -ef |grep lpsched" and check if there are lpsched processes running.
lpsched (to restart it). Any errors?

After shutting down the scheduler remove the /var/spool/lp/SCHEDLOCK and CLD_FIFO files. Then try starting it.

If it does not go away, kill all lpsched processes manually and remove the pid file in

Also check if /var/spool is full.
