ColorSpan Legacy System Control - User Guide

B-8 Unix and VAX Based Computers
Note
Any system may have multiple copies of
lpd
running.
Some give them all the name
lpd
. Others may call one
lpd
, while the remaining processes get the name of the
printer (e.g.,
DM1
). Be sure to kill all the print processes.
Next, clean up the spool directory and log file:
ls /usr/spool/DM1
[Return]
(lists files in spool/DM1 directory)
rm /usr/spool/DM1/*
[Return]
(deletes spool files)
cp /dev/null /usr/spool/DM1/lp-log
[Return]
(clears log)
Finally, restart the printer daemon and printers.
lpd
[Return]
(starts printer daemon)
lpc up all
[Return]
(restarts printers)
Run lmstatus again to ensure that the ColorSpan print server
is communicating with the network. If so, spool your print file.
Run lmstatus again to see if the printer received the file.
If you still have trouble, double-check the files you modified to
ensure that you entered the correct commands, pathnames, and
arguments.
