    I have the same problem with one of mine remote print queue. AIX server is
    in Austin TX and remote printer is in Canada. We have other remote print
    queues in Houston TX without and problem. I turned on the debug and the log
    shows that the system sent an ACK and was waiting for ACK from the printer
    and timining out. I have the timeout set at 360 seconds.

    The work around is to run a script in cron to enable the print queue if the
    queue is in the DOWN state.

    I already set the timeout to 60 minutes when I created the AIX queue.
    It doesn't seem to help, unfortunately

    Hi John,

    You have to increase the time out on the queue. Add "-T500" to the end of
    the rembak line for the specified queue in the /etc/qconfig. You will have
    to stop and restart qdaemon to take effect.

    Subject: lpr problems

    I am attempting to use lpr on a file of approx 300 MB

    My syntax is lpr -s -Pmyqueue myfile

    I have set up a AIX remote queue pointing to a queue on NT.

    The problem is that when I run the command the queue shows SENDING for a
    while and then goes down.

    This also occurs if the remote queue is an AIX queue on another box.

    Sending small files is not a problem

    Any ideas?
