• DIAGNOSTICS	Printer Tests	E-Net Test Page or
Ethernet Test	￿	￿

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 With FTP

Print jobs can also be sent to the Ethernet Interface using the File Transfer Protocol (FTP). To do this:

1.On your network station, change to the directory containing the file you want to print.

2.Open an FTP session with the Ethernet Interface. Syntax:

ftp EthernetInterfaceIPaddress

3.Log in as root.

4.At the password prompt, press ENTER (since there is no default password).
