Support in SMIT was updated to allow rembak error logging to be enabled when adding a remote queue. 6.9.2 Remote Print Job Count On a print server, when a job is received from the print client, lpd receives a control file and one or more data files. The control file contains information on the job to be printed, including the name of the corresponding data files. The datafiles contain the actual data to be printed. The control file is used to generate the arguments to the enq command. It is subsequently deleted. The datafiles are copied to the spooling directory so they can be processed by qdaemon. The LPR/LPD protocol (RFC 1179) specifically designates the naming convention for print data files sent from print clients to print servers. Part of the name is a three-digit job ID. Due to this specification, problems could arise when a single print client sent more than 1000 print jobs to a print server. The datafiles became non-unique and the older file with the same name would get deleted. This could cause major problems for high-volume printing installations. AIX version 4.3.0 has modified the function of the print server. When files are received by lpd, (before they are copied to the spooling directory) a time stamp is appended to the data file names, thus generating unique file names. This enables a large number of jobs to be submitted. The print server still conforms to the specification of the LPD protocol, which does not stipulate what happens to the data file once it has been received by the server. 6.9.3 Additional Printer Support AIX Version 4.3 now includes native support for five additional Lexmark dot-matrix printers: • Lexmark 2380 Model 3 • Lexmark 2381 Model 3 • Lexmark 2390 Model 3 • Lexmark 2391 Model 3 • Lexmark Forms Printer Model 4227 More printer support was specifically introduced in AIX 4.3.1: • Hewlett-Packard 4000 • IBM InfoPrint 20 More printer support was specifically introduced in AIX 4.3.2 for IBM, Lexmark and Hewlett-Packard printers: • IBM InfoPrint 32 • Lexmark Optra Color 40 • Lexmark Optra Color 45 • Lexmark Optra Color 1200 • Lexmark Optra K 1220 • Hewlett-Packard 8000 • Hewlett-Packard 8500 Color The HP 8000 and HP 8500 Color printers and the associated AIX print drivers support A3 paper size. For all printers, this includes: 130 AIX Version 4.3 Differences Guide
• Printer backend colon files for each printer data stream supported by the printer. • ODM parameters for the printer device driver and diagnostics. • New message catalog entries for the printer name and new printer attributes (if required). • Packaging files to make support for the printer's separately installable packages. More information and colon files can be obtained from Lexmark. In the USA, call 1-800-Lexmark (1-800-539-6275) or visit their Web site at the following URL: http://www.lexmark.com 6.9.4 Print Job Administration Enhancements (4.3.2) The print queue administration commands have been enhanced to support print queues with more than 1000 jobs. Previous editions of AIX would allow more than 1000 jobs in a print queue. Cancelling or altering a job when the queue size grew more than 1000 became difficult, because job numbers would repeat, and specifying a specific job number would not guarantee that the job selected would be unique and the one desired. The formatting of the output of the qchk command, when used with the -W flag, has been changed to show the six-figure print job number. The lpstat command has been changed to also accept the -W flag to show information in wide format. Use of the -W flag results in output where the lines are over 106 characters in length. It can be quite confusing to read the output when using a screen that is only 80 characters wide. To maintain compatibility for any user scripts that parse the output of these commands, the default format for both remains unchanged from previous versions. # qchk -W Queue Dev Status Job Files User PP % Blks Cp Rnk -------------------- -------------- --------- ------ ------------------ -------- -- ---- --- ----- --- --- ps lp0 DOWN QUEUED 2228 /etc/passwd root 1 1 1 QUEUED 2229 /etc/passwd root 1 1 2 QUEUED 2230 /etc/passwd root 1 1 3 QUEUED 2231 /etc/passwd root 1 1 4 # The enq, cancel, qpri, qcan, and lprm commands have been altered to accept six-figure job numbers. The enhancement applies only to jobs submitted to local print queues. Jobs submitted to remote printers will still have three digit print job numbers. This is because of a restriction in the lpd protocol. Although AIX 4.3.2 now generates six digit job numbers for local jobs, the response time of the qchk and lpstat commands is identical to that on AIX 4.3.0. The time taken to list the jobs on the queue is proportional to the number of jobs. It is suggested that you maintain a queue size less than 1000 unless absolutely necessary, because larger queue sizes will impact performance. System Management and Utilities 131
