I have a critcal issue with usd and lpd binding (stalling/hanging at the same time),
the cause is unknown.
lpd is hung and displays as if the queue jobs were printing normally and the usa
displays the first queued as;
Job # Job description User name Pri Forms Size Cps Status Delay
006779 UniVerse ograma:38 226 1996 1 1000%006783
</snip>
I used to get some similarly strange behavior (uv -> Solaris lp queues). I took the
"shot gun" fix approach:
1) In UV Spooler/Device management I:
a) created a "lock" file for each device "/tmp/uvprintername"
b) instead of using /dev/null as the device for each UV printer,
I created links in dev for each device pointing to the same pseudo device
that /dev/null points to - so printer Jupiter would be configured in UV for
DEVICE: /dev/Jupiter
Lock1: /tmp/lock.Jupiter
After making the above changes I still ocasionally get a "barf" condition, but it
clears it self after a "usa -o -p name" followed by a usa +o...
Also of note:
2) Found that (at least on older versions of Solaris) lpsched would die and jobs
would simply vanish, so I added the following to the "print driver" script:
# Test to see if spooler is running
# Restart lp service if lpstat -r shows it's not running
while [ ! -z "`lpstat -r | grep not `" ]
do
/etc/init.d/lp start
sleep 30
done
3) I give my unix printers the same name as my uv printers, so one script service 95%+
of my printers...
4) Since the printing script is run by root you may want to make sure the permissions
are set to "-rwx-r-xr-x", or even tighter.
