| DEV_BUSY
| Indicates that:
- More than one queue is defined to a printer device
(lp0), and another queue is currently using the printer device.
- qdaemon attempted to use the printer port
device (lp0), but another application is currently using that printer
device.
To recover from a
DEV_BUSY, wait until the queue or application has released the
printer device or cancel the job or process that is using the printer
port.
|
| DEV_WAIT
| Indicates that the queue is waiting on the printer because the printer is
offline, out of paper, jammed, or the cable is loose, bad, or wired
incorrectly.
To recover from a
DEV_WAIT, correct the problem that caused it to wait.
Sometimes, the jobs have to be removed from the queue before the problem can
be corrected.
A queue that is in
DEV_WAIT for longer than a defined number of seconds will go into a
DOWN state.
|
| DOWN
| A queue will usually go into a DOWN state after it has been in
the DEV_WAIT state. This situation occurs when the printer
device driver cannot tell if the printer is there due to absence of correct
signallng. However, some printers might not have the capability to
signal the queuing system that it is offline, and instead signals that it is
off. If the printer device signals or appears to be off, the queue will
go into the DOWN state.
To recover from a DOWN
state, correct the problem that has brought the queue down and have the system
administrator bring the queue back up. The queue must be
manually brought up before it can be used again.
