AIX Version 4.3 Guide to Printers and Printing
Terminal-Attached Printer Checklist
Check the following items when the printer attached to an ASCII terminal does not produce output:
If the status for the terminal-attached printer queue does not read READY, enter the following commands to cancel all jobs on the queue and restart it:
qadm -Xqname
qadm -Uqname
where qname
is the name of the terminal-attached printer queue. You must resubmit your print jobs.
- Verify that the pioout command has the correct permissions:
/usr/lib/lpd/pio/etc/pioout -r-sr-xr-x
To reset permissions, enter the following command:
chmod 4555 /usr/lib/lpd/pio/etc/pioout
- Check "Local Printer Checklist".
- Sometimes printer control codes conflict with the terminal's control codes. If the previous checklist items do not produce output, reconfigure your virtual printer as an ASCII Printer. See "Configuring a Virtual Printer and Print Queue".
If echoes of keyboard input are mixed with printer output, check the following:
- Adjust the virtual printer attributes specific to terminal-attached printers. To do this, use the SMIT fast path command:
smit chvirprt
- Resubmit the print request and avoid typing while the request is printing.
- If the ASCII terminal locks, turn the terminal off and on.
