AIX Remote Queue Time–Out Setting

Troubleshooting
This installation procedure assumes that the PrintNet is configured
with the correct IP address, subnet mask, and gateway (if required).
In addition you can also ping and telnet to the PrintNet.
To verify the PrintNet settings, print an E-net Test Page.
See “Printing an Ethernet Test Page” on page 26.
The default PrintNet queue name is d1prn (in lower case), however
the name can be changed. To verify the queue name, print an E-
Net Test Page or telnet to the print server’s IP address and do a
“list dest” command.
AIX Remote Queue Time–Out Setting
Symptoms: Print jobs restart or queue goes down.
If the queue is set up for standard processing (not local filtering),
add -T50 flag to rembak to the queue device stanza for the queue
in /etc/qconfig
backend = /usr/lib/lpd/rembak -T50
If the queue was set up for local filtering edit the file
/usr/lib/lpd/pio/etc/piorlfb and change the line;
typeset piorlfb_rbflags=’’’’
to
typeset priorlfb_rbflags=”-T50”
Printing from AIX
Version 4.0 and higher of AIX
®
offers LPR/LPD support for network
printing. This means, to set up a new printer under this operating
system, you only need to define these two parameters:
1. PrintNet IP address. The IP address or host name of the print
server to which you want to print.
2. PrintNet destination/queue. A pre-defined name on the print
server telling the device to which I/O port to send the jobs. Most
likely, you will use
d1prn
for the PRN.
