Help... LP scheduler problem...

My HPUX server can't accept all lp jobs for all my printers... I pinged the print servers and they are fine, ran lpstat -r and shows me that the scheduler is running, lpstat -t shows nothing and won't get back to # unless i terminate it, lpstat -a shows all printers fine, but in SAM it failed to list me the printers and plotters... when I lpshut it says scheduler is stopped, but when I lpsched it says that scheduler was already active...

One thing i notice is that the SCHEDLOCK and FIFO in /var/spool/lp/ are not automatically removed..

Does anyone encounter the same problem before?

Hi I havn't encountered this problem before but do a quick check to see the number of lpsched deamos running...

ps -ef |grep lpsch

you should get one started at boot time (PPID=1) while the others witha PPIS equal to the Child PID of the first one...

You may have two lpschedulers running under PID 1?
