printing to a network printer

[Marc Bouvier]

I have two HP-UX server's.

The old production server can print to a network shared printer called accthp5m, for instance.

Printing to the same printer from the new production server results in a 'waiting for accthp5m to come up' message.

I can ping the IP of the printer from both machines. And the print queue is enabled and accepting.

hi,

to check if the print server device use for the printer support both lpr/lpd and port 9100:

# telnet accthp5m 9100

could also be firewall blocking that port from the old production server to the printer.

regards.

Hi

Could it be that it is generated as a remote printer on the new machine instead of a network printer and the rlp is down.

If it is a network printer then use hpnpadmin like this.

hpnpadmin -v (network name or ip of printer)
bprn122 is a network printer

Printer State : ready to print


topaz is allowed access to bprn122

Check the allowed access
