RE: Printer Configuration Not Working

Vern,

I didn't state it, but on my first try that is what I did; i.e., let the
CRTDEVD auto-create the output queue. Same results/problems.

Hi Jerry

Since you are creating a true device, I'd say that you should not create
the remote OUTQ - the OUTQ will be created automatically, as when you
create a local device.

In fact, your OUTQ is only local - not a remote OUTQ - therefore, it is
probably deeply in conflict with the device. Get rid of the CRTOUTQ, my
friend!

I am having trouble getting a LAN printer configured and working as a

iNav's Work Management for outqueue CR shows 1 writer started.



WRKWTR shows writer CR with a status of STR and the test print is visible
when I use option 8 (Work with output queue). Option 5 (Work with) shows:

Option 9 (Work with printing status) shows:



Status Description

This file is not associated with a started printer.

When I then use WRKWTR CR's status is END, whereas earlier it was STR. So

I

started it.

Then the Work with printing status shows (Status is pending).

While typing parts of this message, the writer's status went to END.



In the past all I have ever had to do was create a device description.

The

output queue mysteriously (to me, anyway) gets created and everything
(usually) works fine (with a little fine tuning on some rare occasions).



Thanks.
