1800-109 in change/show characteristics of a print queue

Question:

The customer does:

\#smit
  Print Spooling
    Change / Show Print Queue Characteristics
      customer selects a queue to work with
        option 2: Default Print Job Attributes
    
and gets the following message in a pop-up window:

1800-109 no addional smit screens are available. 
Installation of additional software may be required.

Answer:

Reasons this can occur:

a.
The /var/spool/lpd/pio/@local/smit/sm_* files are zeroed out and then 
the 4096 byte template but back in place - you can add/remove queues, 
but smit screens for change/show characteristics of the queues that 
were created prior to overwriting the sm_* files are no longer in 
the sm_* ODM files.

b.
printers.rte may have been re-loaded which would overwrite these files,
or an upgrade that loads printers.rte.

\#cp /usr/lpp/printers.rte/inst_root/var/spool/lpd/pio/@local/smit/sm* \\
/var/spool/lpd/pio/@local/smit

If that does not solve it, the following script will rebuild the files.

\#!/bin/ksh 

cp /usr/lpp/printers.rte/inst_root/var/spool/lpd/pio/@local/smit/* \\
   /var/spool/lpd/pio/@local/smit
   
   
cd /var/spool/lpd/pio/@local/custom

for file in `ls`
do
        QNAME=`echo $file | cut -d':' -f1`
        DEVICE=`echo $file| cut -d':' -f2`
        chvirprt -q $QNAME -d $DEVICE
done
