Hello guys:

I am working with a company which uses D3. I need to know how to
clear a printer jam within D3. It appears I may also need to know how
to assign, reassign, and delete printers as well. Can anyone help?


Thank you!

Kyle

Good morning Kyle

What, specifically, is the problem you're having?

For example, are jobs queueing up but not being released to the printer,
being released to the printer but not printing, printing but not clearing
from the queue, etc.

Can you print from within RedHat?

If you provide more details I'll try and help in any way I can.

As to your second request, I'm not sure how deep your knowledge of all
things D3 is, (I'm guessing "not very"), so apologise in advance if you
already know what I'm about to say.

Printing in D3 is performed via form queues. Assume I assign my output to
form queue "0", then the printer (or printers), assigned to print jobs to
that form queue will print the job.

The "SP-ASSIGN ?" will show your current form queue assignment.

"LISTPTR" will show which printers are "started" on the system and their
respective form queue assignments.

Hope that helps.

Regards

Mike

Here is something I've used with PICK on UNIX.
It's very old and I have no way to test it but it may help you or at
least give you a hint.
PROMPT ''
LOOP
LOOP
PRINT ' Printer : ':
INPUT PRT,3
IF LEN(PRT) ELSE EXIT
IF PRT MATCHES '0N' THEN EXIT
PRT = ''
REPEAT
IF PRT = '' THEN STOP

LOOP
PRINT ' Kill printer ':PRT:' [Y/N] : ':
FLD = ''
INPUT FLD,1
IF COUNT('YN',FLD) THEN EXIT
REPEAT
PRINT ''
IF FLD = 'N' THEN CONTINUE

LINE = 200 + PRT ;* Line number - specific to your
system
QQ = OCONV(PRT,'MR%2') ;* Queue number
EXECUTE 'STOPPTR ':PRT:'DW'
EXECUTE 'STARTSHP ':PRT:',':PRT:',0,s':LINE:',lp.unix,(lp -
dq0':QQ:')'
REPEAT
END
