Garance,
rp=lp fixed that problem but something else showed up...
On Stargate I get the following:
Stargate# lpc status all
lp:
queuing is enabled
printing is enabled
3 entries in spool area
waiting for queue to be enabled on P3R-272.Tom.Parquette.name
Stargate#
But on P3R-272 I get: (aps1 is a Lexmark definition I never finished)
P3R-272# lpc status all
lp:
queuing is enabled
printing is enabled
no entries in spool area
printer idle
aps1:
queuing is enabled
printing is enabled
no entries in spool area
printer idle
P3R-272#
Taking the messages at face value, it appears "lp" is enabled on P3R-272.
The searches I did not the message in the archives did not turn up anything.
Any ideas?
Thanks...
