- I've inherited a system administration job for the summer that includes a
- network of approximately 100 Suns, Macs, and PCs. A Sun fileserver is
- running the CAP programs (atis, lwsrv, aarpd, etc.) to set up spooling
- for the Apple LaserWriters and handle printing from all the above machines.
-
- Things have been operating pretty smoothly for quite awhile, until today.
-
- All of a sudden, we are having problems printing from the Macs. We
- get messages back from the PrintMonitor like
-
- Unable to print document " " because of communications failure.
-
- When I look at the spool directories in the Sun, the error files
- contain messages like:
-
- papif: Starting job for root@isye at Wed Jul 29 15:50:07 1992 on
- printer ISyE -
- DO NOT USE - 113:LaserWriter@*
- open: /dev/enetXX: Device busy
- papif: PAPOpen returns -1098
- open: /dev/enetXX: Device busy
- papif: PAPOpen returns -1098
- papif: Problems finding ISyE - DO NOT USE - 113:LaserWriter@*
-
- In addition, there seems to be a fair number of 0/1 byte jobs being
- sent to the printers as a result of the laserwriter server software
- that invariably hang the printer until such time as we notice them and
- clear them from the queue.
-
- Anybody seen this before or got any ideas about what might be wrong?
- Like I said above, this is a new problem, although we have been
- running CAPS for a long time now.
-
- Please email responses, as I don't normally read this group.
-
- Thanks,
- dave
