[saucyboy]

Hi guys

i get the following when i try to add a printer, i have put the ip address and hostsname of the printer in /etc/hosts , after using smitty queue i get :

Command: running stdout: yes stderr: no

Before command completion, additional instructions may appear below.

digest: 0781-017 error in config file /etc/qadm.config, line 75.
digest: (FATAL ERROR): 0781-003 field value too long; limit is 20 chars.
mkque: (FATAL ERROR): Error from digester /usr/lib/lpd/digest, status = 64512, rv = 1384534.
mkque failed.

Erm... I'd check /etc/qadm.config file on line 75 ?

hi,
in the /etc dir, there is a text file named qconfig .
The digest program converts this in qconfig.bin .
Probably your qconfig file is corrupted. Try to copy
it in a save extension and indagate by vi in qconfig.

Try to eliminate from qconfig all queues (all in a shot
or one by one) and try again by smit to see results.

If you detect the wrong entry, restore original qconfig
and correct it.

Which type of printer are you adding ?
Follow this steps:

# smitty spooler
Add a Print queue
(select hpJetDirect)
(select Other)
(config Generic printer)
(select 2: Do not make ...)

in the box PCL emulation enter a name for the queue
in the hostname the name you wrote in /etc/hosts
leave 9100 in the port number

Giving lpstat, you see your queue and its state.

bye
