Fairly simple question, I think. Still trying to get my head around AIX print queues. Most of our problems seem to stem from print queues going down. This generates help-desk calls when users call up to get their queues started or to get rid of the emails that qdaemon sends them.
Looking at the reference for the 'qconfig' file I though that setting the 'recovery_type' option to 'retry' would solve my problems, however it seems this option is only available for 'local' type print queues. Below is the entry for an example printer (networked OKI ML5520), is there any way to have these set up as 'local' printers so I can take advantage of the 'retry' recovery type?
Many thanks,
Alex
