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. |
|
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. |
