Hola all -

So, I've tried the various options outlined here & in other related email, but our setup is failing consistently.

What happens is this: I can setup a printer, B009A for example, in CUPS or as an lp printer, doesn't seem to matter. Linux (RH 3.5) printing is fine, test are all ok & lp from the bash line are good as well, output is dandy. When printed from the TCL prompt like this:

SP-ASSIGN F24 (and the printer B009A has form 24 loaded up)
COPY CRIT PTEST (P

I get good output. But when I try to print from within local PICK programs, which work fine on our hopefully-soon-to-be-replaced-if-I-can-fix-this-issue Irix system, nothing, they disappear entirely. My spooler log shows:

P Print PR24 2 528 UniVerse 24 06/07/2005 18:49:51

lpstat is clear, but no output. The only exception to this is when I have the printer setup as a RAW printer, in which case I do get output but it is incomplete -- a few boxes are drawn & a small amount of text is output at the top of the page.

My programmer assures me he's doing nothing odd with the printing, and I believe him (can post some code here if that will help, I need to find the explicit printing code first) but damned if I can think of anything else going on. Again, all jobs are properly logged in my spooler log files but no output.

ANY hints/thoughts/ideas greatly appreciated.

You need to setup &DEVICE& by edit or uv admin. UV admin is best because you will need to reread the spooler configuration files and you are prompted for this. On my Linux the TCl command is "MOTIF SYSTEM.ADMIN" or SYSTEM.ADMIN in the "uv" account.

I have tried reading the manual. How can I set up access to a network printer under UV 10 with Linux Redhat 9.0. From the Linux shell I can successfully print, but from UV all I get is the following message every minute or so...

"Unable to open device. Verify that the printer is on line..."

Thanks in advance,
Marc
