Hi Gang,
I see on the list that printers and device monitors are the hot topic again.
Well, I have a problem with that too.
Our colour printer is connected to the parallel port of the AP.
If I look at SMDH, the printer shows: On line, Not failed.
Yet, a freshly generated cs_dm.current shows:
STATION: "C0AP01": STATE: OPERATIVE TYPE: AP 50/51
Device: 1 ----- NOT CONFIGURED ----
Device: 2 " LP14" TYPE: PRINTER STATUS: FAIL PR NONE
If I run "lpc stat LP14" on the host(C0AP01), it shows:
LP14:
queueing is enabled
printing is enabled
no entries
If I run "lpc stat LP14" on any of the WPs, it shows:
LP14:
queueing is disabled
printing is disabled
no entries
As a result of this the operators are unable to do screen dumps.
If I run "lpc up all" on any of the WPs, printing on LP14 is restored but only for a short period of time.
Before the day is over, I get a complaint from the operators that the printer is no longer working.
It looks to me that the device monitor is having its nickers in a twist and telling all the workstations at a very regular interval, that LP14 is failed.
How can I make DEV_MON to reflect the correct status of LP14???
Cheers,
Frits Schouten
