Printer Scheduler not running.

[Reynaldo Torres]

I am currently running HP-UX 11.0 OS in a K570 server. Everytime I boot the machine the print scheduler is not running even though it shows in the rc.log that the scheduler has been started as well the "HP Distributed Print Service", so the only way to get it going is by doing it from the command line "lpsched". Prior to this problem, I was running JetAdmin and now I have JetDirect due to JetAdmin is not supported any more. If someone could help me on this issue, I will really appreciated, and I will give point to the best answer.

Thans in advance

check /etc/rc.config.d/lp

It will probably have the line

LP=0

at the end.

Change this to LP=1 and it will auto-start on the next reboot.

I have checked the /etc/rc.config.d/lp, and the variable is set to = 1, so this part is wright.

Hi Reynaldo,

Check /var/spool/lp & delete *FIFO & *LOCK and then see if it will start manually with lpsched
If so then those lock files were the problem.

HTH,
Jeff

Good morning Jeff.

I have done what you told me, and I hope this is the problem. I will not now for sure until I boot up the system again, but I will be checking this very closely. I will submit points for your respond.

Thank you very much,

Reynaldo.
