[hpoj-devel] ptalChannelOpen failed

[Andrew B. <an...@si...>]

Hi,

I am having issues with our HP Officejet D145 printer on Redhat 7.2 
using HPOJ and LPD.

We are getting continuous printouts of a document containing only a ? or 
two in the corner of the page, and cannot cancel it from the printer and 
there is no print job in the lpd queue.

What makes me think it may be an issue with the print server side is 
that I am getting the following message continuously in /var/log/messages:

Nov 19 15:11:55 phobos ptal-printd: ptal-printd(mlc:usb:0): 
ptalChannelOpen failed!  Will delay and retry.

I have tried restarting lpd as well as restarting ptal-init with no 
joy.  As far as everyone here is aware it was working fine and then got 
into the state it is in now with no changes being made to the 
configuration whatsoever.

Any help is appreciated

Andy

What version of hpijs are you running? Current versions of hpijs do not
support RH 8 or earlier.

Problem is resolved.

There was an application on another machine continually spewing a 
corrupt print job to the printer.  Once the queue was cleared and the 
driver restarted the printer was back to normal.

Thanks
