[Scunningham99]

Hi All

SunOS sunbcpsunx001 5.8 Generic_108528-14 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-880

Problem with jetamin when i add printer to local spooler i receive the following. This is happening interm. which means the printer is not added with success!! Does anyone know why?

i can ping host name!, and only receie this error when i choose 0 to configure the device. The following mesg is generated:-

Ready to configure sed_acc_04.
OK to continue? (y/n/q, default=y)

..UX:accept: ERROR: Destination "sed_acc_04" is unknown to the
LP print service.
..UX:enable: ERROR: Destination "sed_acc_04" is unknown to the
LP print service.
..
Finished adding "sed_acc_04" to the spooler.
Press the return key to continue ...

What model of the HP jetadmin printer do you use ?
Is it correct jetadmin software for Solaris 8?
Because I installed jetadmin first time. I didn't have any problem.Good Luck

Yes it is certified to work with my version

I have installed various printers say 30 or more and then suddenly come across thes errors instlling some more!!

I have some printers that i set up fine no probs!

restart lpsched. sometimes after you add a lot of printers, you need to restart the scheduler in order to enable and accept them. i have no idea why. if you look at ja.out in the tmp directory under jetadmin root (for example /opt/hpnpl/tmp) you will see a message saying:

UX:lpadmin: WARNING: The LP print service can't take another printer.
TO FIX: The printer configuration has been saved on disk nonetheless. Stop the LP print service (/usr/sbin/lpshut) and restart it (/usr/lib/lp/lpsched) to have it recognize the new printer.

After you restart the lp service, you'll need to enable and accept those printers.

 

Cheers Lancer73!!! I managed to delete the printer from the spooler and add it again no problems.

Is there a way to re-enable the printer again, as i could not find the option under the hp menu?

Thanks Again!
