Start all dead print queues?

[dmjoen]

Does a command exist that will attempt to start all the print queues that are down?

Thanks

try this:

login as root

# startsrc -s qdaemon => to start

# stopsrc -cs qdaemon => to stop

Startsrc only starts the daemons not the print que.

LSALLQ=`lsallq| grep -Ev "any queues you don't want started"`
lpstat -W | awk '{print $1,$2}' >/tmp/loadfont
for item in $LSALLQ
do
QUE=`grep $item /tmp/loadfont | awk '{print $1}'|head -1`
TYPE=`grep $item /tmp/loadfont | awk '{print $2}'|head -1`
enq -U -P$QUE
if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
echo " $QUE NOT STARTED "
else
echo "$QUE HAS BEEN STARTED "
fi
done
rm /tmp/loadfont
fi

yeah... you can re-start print queues by:

1. login as root
2. smit->print spooling->manage print queues->start a print queue
3. then select queue/s

You also can try this command from console:
(login as root)
lpstat ---> a command to check all printer status
qadm -U'queue_name' ---> a command to activate the printer status from "down" to "ready".
