I have set up some print queues on my AIX 5.2 system that keep getting
hung. I am not sure if it is related to the application, but as a
workaround I would like to put a retry in there. I am not sure of the
syntax to use in the /etc/qconfig file. Can someone help?

What type of print queue? How are the printers attached (serial, parallel,
remote, HP Jetdirect, etc.) ?

What do you mean by "hung"? Does the queue go to a DOWN state? Stuck in
DEV_WAIT state?

Apologies - I wasn't very clear at all.

Print queues are remote and they are in a down state.

Here is an example of one fo them from /etc/qconfig.

fl050hrp:
device = @fl050hrp
up = TRUE
host = fl050hrp.fl.maycompany.com
s_statfilter = /usr/lib/lpd/bsdshort
l_statfilter = /usr/lib/lpd/bsdlong
rq = HR
@fl050hrp:
backend = /usr/lib/lpd/rembak

You can append " -T60" at the end of the backend=/usr/lib/lpd/rembak line.
This will set the timeout period to 60 minutes. This won't cause rembak to
re-try any operations, but will extend the amount of time rembak will wait
for a response from the server before it gives up and takes the queue to a
down state.
