printer queue disable automatically

[Anthony Yau]

I have some print queues in HP-UX 10.20 which automatically disabled by lp scheduler if the request files generated in the following format.
e.g.
The control file is "cA123host1" ,data file name stored in it is "dA0123host1" and data file name is "dA0123host1". It seem to be normal in others machine, but in this machine, if the control file name and data file name do not have the same number of digits in seq#, this print queue will disable automatically.

This is the correct behavior. BSD remote printing defines 4-digit print IDs while SysV (HP-UX in particular) defines 5-digits. So the control file internal ID number must match the file names. A similar situation will exist if random filenames and control files are simply stored in the request directories.
