Printing on HPUX

[Eckert_2]

In HPUX11i the print-requests are numbered by 3 digits. What happens, if there are more than 1000 requests in one queue? Can I change the number of the digits?

Well, that depends on how you define your printers. The BSD style printer uses 3 digits - see the lpadmin man page under the -ob3 option. Otherwise, I believe they use four digits.

Hi,

You have included -ob3 (for BSD) option in the definition of printer, because the default is not to use three-digit request numbers.

I have redefined the queue with
"lpadmin -pQUEUE -v/dev/null -mPCL5", but the same story. The requeste are numbered with 3 digits.
I found in /var/adm/lp/lpd.log the lines:
QUEUE: data file request/QUEUE/dfA073PM1XX renamed to request/QUEUE/dfA073cc_pm1
QUEUE: request file name changed to request/QUEUE/cfA073cc_pm1

Question: Who is renaming the files?
The files are send from a remote SAP-System via Berkeley-Protokoll.
