This section -categorizes the most common and explains the cause -for their generation. Where the message implies a failure, -directions are given to remedy the problem. -.PP -In the examples below, the name -.I printer -is the name of the printer from the -.I printcap -database. -.NH 2 -LPR -.SH -lpr: \fIprinter\fP\|: unknown printer -.IP -The -.I printer -was not found in the -.I printcap -database. Usually this is a typing mistake; however, it may indicate -a missing or incorrect entry in the /etc/printcap file. -.SH -lpr: \fIprinter\fP\|: jobs queued, but cannot start daemon. -.IP -The connection to -.I lpd -on the local machine failed. -This usually means the printer server started at -boot time has died or is hung. Check the local socket -/dev/printer to be sure it still exists (if it does not exist, -there is no -.I lpd -process running). -Usually it is enough to get a super-user to type the following to -restart -.IR lpd . -.DS -% /usr/lib/lpd -.DE -You can also check the state of the master printer daemon with the following. -.DS -% ps l`cat /usr/spool/lpd.lock` -.DE -.IP -Another possibility is that the -.I lpr -program is not set-user-id to \fIroot\fP, set-group-id to group \fIdaemon\fP. -This can be checked with -.DS -% ls \-lg /usr/ucb/lpr -.DE -.SH -lpr: \fIprinter\fP\|: printer queue is disabled -.IP -This means the queue was turned off with -.DS -% lpc disable \fIprinter\fP -.DE -to prevent -.I lpr -from putting files in the queue. This is normally -done by the system manager when a printer is -going to be down for a long time. The -printer can be turned back on by a super-user with -.IR lpc . -.NH 2 -LPQ -.SH -waiting for \fIprinter\fP to become ready (offline ?) -.IP -The printer device could not be opened by the daemon. -This can happen for several reasons, -the most common is that the printer is turned off-line. -This message can also be generated if the printer is out -of paper, the paper is jammed, etc. -The actual reason is dependent on the meaning -of error codes returned by system device driver. -Not all printers supply enough information -to distinguish when a printer is off-line or having -trouble (e.g. a printer connected through a serial line). -Another possible cause of this message is -some other process, such as an output filter, -has an exclusive open on the device. Your only recourse -here is to kill off the offending program(s) and -restart the printer with -.IR lpc . -.SH -\fIprinter\fP is ready and printing -.IP -The -.I lpq -program checks to see if a daemon process exists for -.I printer -and prints the file \fIstatus\fP located in the spooling directory. -If the daemon is hung, a super user can use -.I lpc -to abort the current daemon and start a new one. -.SH -waiting for \fIhost\fP to come up -.IP -This implies there is a daemon trying to connect to the remote -machine named -.I host -to send the files in the local queue. -If the remote machine is up, -.I lpd -on the remote machine is probably dead or -hung and should be restarted as mentioned for -.IR lpr . -.SH -sending to \fIhost\fP -.IP -The files should be in the process of being transferred to the remote -.IR host . -If not, the local daemon should be aborted and started with -.IR lpc . -.SH -Warning: \fIprinter\fP is down -.IP -The printer has been marked as being unavailable with -.IR lpc . -.SH -Warning: no daemon present -.IP -The \fIlpd\fP process overseeing -the spooling queue, as specified in the ``lock'' file -in that directory, does not exist. This normally occurs -only when the daemon has unexpectedly died. -The error log file for the printer and the \fIsyslogd\fP logs -should be checked for a -diagnostic from the deceased process. -To restart an \fIlpd\fP, use -.DS -% lpc restart \fIprinter\fP -.DE -.SH -no space on remote; waiting for queue to drain -.IP -This implies that there is insufficient disk space on the remote. -If the file is large enough, there will never be enough space on -the remote (even after the queue on the remote is empty). The solution here -is to move the spooling queue or make more free space on the remote. -.NH 2 -LPRM -.SH -lprm: \fIprinter\fP\|: cannot restart printer daemon -.IP -This case is the same as when -.I lpr -prints that the daemon cannot be started. -.NH 2 -LPD -.PP -The -.I lpd -program can log many different messages using \fIsyslogd\fP\|(8). -Most of these messages are about files that can not -be opened and usually imply that the -.I printcap -file or the protection modes of the files are -incorrect. Files may also be inaccessible if people -manually manipulate the line printer system (i.e. they -bypass the -.I lpr -program). -.PP -In addition to messages generated by -.IR lpd , -any of the filters that -.I lpd -spawns may log messages using \fIsyslogd\fP or to the error log file -(the file specified in the \fBlf\fP entry in \fIprintcap\fP\|). -.NH 2 -LPC -.PP -.SH -couldn't start printer -.IP -This case is the same as when -.I lpr -reports that the daemon cannot be started. -.SH -cannot examine spool directory -.IP -Error messages beginning with ``cannot ...'' are usually because of -incorrect ownership or protection mode of the lock file, spooling -directory or the -.I lpc -program. |
