If the test print doesn’t work
If the test document doesn’t print, follow these steps:
1Check whether the
rlp
daemon is running. At the UNIX prompt, type
ps -e | grep rlp
If the process is running, you will see one or more lines of text; if it is not
running, you will see no response.
2If
rlp
is running—that is, you saw one or more lines of text in step 1— kill the process
by typing
kill -15 process_number_from_step_1
3Make sure the following entry is in the
/etc/inetd.conf
file:
printer stream tcp nowait root
/usr/lib/rlpdaemon rlpdaemon -i
This line tells inetd to start the rlp daemon automatically when a print
request is made (if it’s not already running).
4Make sure the following entry is in the
/etc/services
file:
printer 515/tcp spooler
5 Start
inetd
by typing the following command at the UNIX prompt:
/etc/inetd -c
6 Repeat the steps in “Configuring HP-UX Version 9.xx.”
