Hello, I have a customer facing a strange problem using lp (no cups). The printer is offline, so no queue will be flushed there, then I run a lot of "lp" commands to the printer. Before Solaris 10 (but probably before Solaris 9) lpstat would return the entire queue with a list of pending job numbers, so I may delete the jobs via cancel. Now, if you do lpstat (and the printer is still offline), the queue looks like it's being flushed regularly, and each lpstat jobs disappear as if they're done. Then, still with the printer offline, I reboot the machine, and I can see the jobs reappear in lpstat, and then again disapper (like if they're bouncing in a sub queue, that I cannot see, and got back from time to time). What changed in lp / lpstat? How can I see job numbers for waiting jobs?
Thanx a lot, Gabriele. This message posted from opensolaris.org
