printer issue,

[aruns_s]

Hi,
How to get rid of following issue,
# lpstat -t
scheduler is running
no system default destination
lpstat: printer "pg4pl1" has disappeared!
.
I have tried nullifying qstatus and pstatus files under /var/spoo/lp, but no luck

man lpadmin for both messages...

> no system default destination
This means that there is no default printer defined. You can define a default destination spooler with
lpadmin -ddefault-destination

> lpstat: printer "pg4pl1" has disappeared!
Have you tried removing the spooler?
"lpadmin -xpg4pl1"
If the printer is stil available, recreate it with lpadmin or hppi.

If the above one does not works ..try this steps as follows

# lpshut
#cd /var/spool/lp

Check SHELDLOCK and FIFO and CLD_FIFO files ,if they are present remove those files

#lpstat â r (confirm scheduler is not running)


# lpadmin -xpg4pl1

Recreate the same printer


#lpsched

Confirm the lpscheduler runs

"I have tried nullifying qstatus and pstatus files under /var/spoo/lp,"..

why do u want to do that? Is there no printers configured now in the system?

Looks like either u dont have any queue or the spooler system is corrupted and not able to identify any..
