Managing Supervisors and Physical Printers
Responding to Physical Printer State Problems
state changes to printing. When the job completes, the physical printer
state changes to idle.
HPDPS notifies you when the physical printer enters the timed-out
state if the notification profile for the printer specifies you are to receive
notification messages for the printer-timed-out event.
You can query the printer-state physical printer attribute to ensure
that the physical printer is actually in the timed-out state. Query the
enabled attribute to check that the physical printer is still enabled. The
printer should remain enabled even when it is in the timed-out state.
To query these attributes, enter:
pdls -c printer PhyPrt4
HPDPS displays information similar to the following:
Printer Realization State Enabled Queue
------- ----------- ------------------ ------- -------
PhyPrt4 physical timed-out true Queue4
After verifying the physical printer state, see “Physical Printer State is
“timed-out”” in Chapter 13 for the procedures you use to correct the
problem.
