I have converted a printer from being on a serial connection to the server
to be on the network.
When it was connected as serial, there was no feedback from the printer to
the server. It could be offline all day, and the jobs would just wait in the
queue. But with the NIC installed it send status back to the server and if
the printer e.g. runs out of paper, then after 15 min or so the queue goes
down, and I have to restart it more times a day.
How do I change that ?
Server is running AIX 4.2.1.0

If the print queue backend is rembak, edit /etc/qconfig and add -T999 to the
backend line:
backend = /usr/lib/lpd/rembak -T999

If your backend is piorlfb, edit the piorlfb and put the -T999 in the rembak
flags section.

The -T999 is a timeout period in minutes that rembak waits for a response
from the print server before giving up.

Best regards,
Paul
