Printer Setup.

Lpd is printer queue name for windows and windows side they configure wintel queue to printer IP address.Thereafter  unix team setup it on server side to point the unix queue to Wintel LPD.
And lastly We setup in EBS/ERP Instance .From EBS side we can give test print to cross verify it .


Steps to configure printer in Oracle R12

a.      Login to R12 PROD with “System Administrator” responsibility

b.     Navigate InstallàPrinteràRegister

c.      Printer Name ß Same as Unix and Windows print queue (Case Sensitive)

d.     Printer Type = “--PASTA Universal Printer Type”

e.      Description = “Department, Location, Printer Model, Contact”

f.       Save



.    Verify printer Setup

 login frontend go to system administrator responsibility >concurrent>request>single request>
submit the Active Users XML request and in options assign the printer name then submit it.
It should completed successfully as below.









Once request completed click on view log it should show completed successfully with Printer name like below






**
Sometimes printer does not reflect in that case while submitting concurrent request we have to change stype to other format say, landscape 


To check the printer staus
lpstat -p | grep -i <Printer Name>

*enabled stats changes if any request comes to the printer on cm node.
To check the lpd of printer/Unix print queue
lpstat -v <Printer name>





Check print queue
lpq -a

stuck jobs 
lpstat -R |wc -l

check priner status and pending jobs
lpc status printer_name



By default CUPS will queue a maximum of 500 print jobs before rejecting further print requests. To quote directly from the CUPS manual :
The MaxJobs directive controls the maximum number of jobs that are kept in memory. Once the number of jobs reaches the limit, the oldest completed job is automatically purged from the system to make room for the new one. If all of the known jobs are still pending or active then the new job will be rejected.
Setting the maximum to 0 disables this functionality. The default setting is 500.



Enabling/Disabling print CPUS
