LPD printers not responding in Red Hat Enterprise Linux
Issue
-
We periodically see the following error message in
/var/log/cups/error_log
:W [23/Mar/2010:02:29:37 -0500] [Job 8104] Remote host did not respond with command status byte after 300 seconds! I [23/Mar/2010:02:29:37 -0500] [Job 8104] Backend returned status 1 (failed)
-
When the wave starts to print the labels, I saw that all the labels were printed, but the packing slip report didn't print all the sheets. I think it could be a delay in the printing queue.
-
Print delays are occurring in what seems to be random print queues.
- The status for the printer is
/usr/lib/cups/backend/lpd failed
. What is wrong?
