Greetings,

 

I am trying to set up some automation to try to retry "stuck" LPR
printing. Currently, every 30 minutes we check the RSCS queues for files
that are older than 2 hours old and if there are some to have our help
desk do the following commands on a stuck printer. 

 

DRAIN printerid 

FLUSH printerid spid HOLD 

START printerid FORM * 

CHANGE printerid spid NOHOLD

 

Now I've decided to have the procedure which detects the stuck printer
do the commands to try to fix it and if the status doesn't change the
next time it is called to e-mail our clients help desk.

 

While checking out the RSCS book I see that maybe the RSCS STOP command
, followed by the START command can do the equivalent. 

 

Is there a difference or a better way?

 

Regards

 

Mike Horlick
