Hello Team,


Umesh has scheduled new alert. Whenever there is any printer in disabled state in Prod(x1ebsa01/x1ebsa02) we will get this alert.


Action:


To check disabled printer:

lpstat -p | grep disable


To check printer is installed on server:

lpstat -p| grep -i SL_SITEST7_HP_M506


Check the queue on server:

lpq -P SL_SITEST7_HP_M506


If there is a long queue, cancel the request


Cancel the request:

lpq -P SL_RMA_01_HP_M506

cancel -a SL_RMA_01_HP_M506


cupsenable SL_RMA_01_HP_M506

lpq -P SL_RMA_01_HP_M506




Few additional commands just for FYI:

To check the ipadress:

lpstat -v | grep -i SL_IH_01_HP_M506


Send print request:

lpr -P SL_SITEST8_01_HP_M506 vivek.txt
