All,
I have an on-going printer error message in /var/adm/messages that I have
been unable to track down and hope someone will have an idea as to where
else to look. This error message is spawning every minute, so needless to
say, it's creating a fairly large messages file.
Apr 19 00:59:04 server03 bsd-gw[16854]: [ID 937800 lpr.error] request to
chp650c (unknown printer) from workstation22
Apr 19 01:00:04 server03 bsd-gw[16968]: [ID 937800 lpr.error] request to
chp650c (unknown printer) from workstation22
facts:
1) server03 has no printers defined - it's an Oracle database server
2) chp650c is now a defunct plotter (was disconnected and removed several
months ago)
3) workstation22 does not have chp650c defined
what I've done up to now:
1) examined workstation22 for a printjob for this printer/plotter
(looked in /var/spool/lp, /var/spool/lp/tmp, /var/spool/print)
(ran find / -name chp650c)
2) examined server03 for a printjob for this printer/plotter
(looked in /var/spool/lp, /var/spool/lp/tmp, /var/spool/print)
(looked in /temp, /tmp)
(ran hpjetadmin to ensure printer/plotter was not defined)
(looked in /etc/printers.conf - not there)
(ran admintool and browsed printers - not there)
**I didn't expect to find the plotter in any of these since the error
msg states "unknown printer", but checked them anyway
3) ran lpshut on server03 since it's not a print server
4) restarted lpsched and ran lpstat -t (no print jobs are pending)
5) ran ps -ef | grep lp - nothing
6) /etc/lp/printers is empty
Does anyone have any other ideas on where to look for this print job so I
can eliminate it?
TIA,
Ron D
