digest: 0781-017 error in config file /etc/qadm.config, line 95.
digest: (FATAL ERROR): 0781-012 No device line in queue stanza.
mkque: (FATAL ERROR): 0781-277 Error from digester /usr/lib/lpd/digest, status =
-1024, rv = 19892.

I am getting the above error when trying to add a print queue using SMIT.
The sequence I use:
1. smit printers
2. print spooling
3. add print queue
4. <select> hpdirect
5. <select> Hewlett-pakard
6. hplj-4000 Hewlett-Packard LaserJet 4000
7. 2 Do NOT make this system a BOOTP/TFTP server
8. Names of NEW print queues to add
PCL [printqueue1]
PostScript []
HP-GL/2 []

Printer connection characteristics
* HOSTNAME of the JetDirect Card [printque]
* PORT [9100] +#

When saving at this point I get the error.
Here is the entry in the mentioned file at line 95:
hp_land:
up = TRUE
printqueue1:
device = dummy^?
dummy^?:
backend = dummy^?

Does anyone know what’s going wrong??
 
I always use the IP address in the hostname field. I don't know if that's what causing your error for sure though. Learn something everyday or you wasted a day of your life.
 
try to replace [printque] with IP address.

Printer connection characteristics
* HOSTNAME of the JetDirect Card [printque]
* PORT [9100] +#



 
I have tried the above but I still get the exact same error.
 
I have had an error similar to that in the past but only when I forget to define the name I am using in the host file. Does 'printque' have an IP defined in the /etc/host file? Might want to make sure and make sure its correctly formated or it causes problems.
