Waiting the queue to enable

[Yeo]

Dear experts,
When I try to print at the remote printing and I type lpstat it show me "waiting the queue to be enable at ip_address" but when I check the printer is already enable.Please help.

Try:

accept
enable

Or even

disable
reject

and then enable it.

See your Log messages

/var/adm/messages

btw, this is the exact method to add a remote printer
# lpshut
#lpadmin -pptr_name -v/dev/null -mrmodel -ocmrcmodel -osmrsmodel -ob3 -ormhost_name -orpqueue_name -v/dev/null

# accept GALI
# enable GALI
# lpsched

Hi,

From the knowledge base, document id: A5874074, it seems to be some permission problem.

-------------------
1. Change the permissions on rlp from rwx to r-s (for user)

# chmod 4555 /usr/sbin/rlp

Note: this changes permissions to: -r-sr-xr-x

2. Check other related commands for a similar problem, such as rlpdaemon, rlpstat and rcancel. You may need to change permissions on those as well.

3. Restart the scheduler.

#lpsched [if lp daemon not started]
#ps -ef|grep -i lpsched
#lpstat -t [to check if any printers are enable]
---------------------

regards.

Also check, whether you are able to connect to remote printer using IP addresses.

ping

also check whether you are able to connect to remote printer in raw mode

telnet 515

and see whether you are able to connect.

This will tell you whether you have physical connectivity to the printer.

Also look for some specific patches for lp.

Also, if it is a remote queue, make sure the queue on the remote machine is also enabled and accepting requests.

Try to rebuild the printer through sam.

I had experienced a problem which had similar characteristics. I rebuilt the printer through sam, and it works as well as it could.

I would try re-creating the queue.

lpshut
lpadmin -Xqueuename

lpadmin -v/dev/null -mrmodel -pqueuename -remotequeuename.yourdomain.com -orpremotequeuename
