I have print queues in AIX that go down on occassion and I just restart the queue.
I print to a Canon IR330 printer that won't let anyone print when it goes down. So I start it with the enable command.
Not sure what is causing it but doesn't happen enough to be a problem.
When the Canon goes down it does stop communications and recently I found I had a network cable that was defective.

I have several AIX systems (AIX 5.1 ML03, latest print subsystem file sets) that print through a Windows 2003 print server. Every once in a while a print queue will hang causing the queues on all my other AIX systems to go down when any print job is sent to them. Of course we reboot the print server and all is fine. Has anyone run into this? I would be hesitant to think that a print request from AIX would stop the communications on all my other systems to the print server also. Yes, all the Windows machines in the company can still print. If I call IBM, it's a Windows problem. If the Windows guys call Microsoft, it's obviously a unix problem.
Thanks in advance,
