PRINTAPIS Messages
The PRINTAPIS library gives local clients (such as the browser) the ability to print via the parallel port or to a remote host running LPD. If you are looking for a message that refers to the PRINTAPIS library but that does not appear here, refer to "Messages Common to All Modules".
CFILECMDFAIL, failed to init transfer of control file to remote queue.
- Severity:
- Fatal
- Explanation:
- The LPD on the remote print server did not accept the Receive
Control File command.
- User Action:
- Make sure that the network and the remote print server are
operational. If so, try the print job again. If the problem persists, please contact
Technical Support.
CFILEXFERFAIL, failed to complete transfer of control file to remote queue
- Severity:
- Fatal
- Explanation:
- The end of control information was not acknowledged.
- User Action:
- Make sure that the network and the remote print server are
operational. If so, try the print job again. If the problem persists, please
contact Technical Support.
CONNBLOCKED, connection is blocked.
- Severity:
- Error
- Explanation:
- The local print device is unable to accept more data at this time.
- User Action:
- Keep trying to send the data. If the problem persists, please
contact Technical Support.
DFILECMDFAIL, failed to init transfer of data file to remote queue.
- Severity:
- Fatal
- Explanation:
- The LPD on the remote print server did not accept the Receive
Data File command.
- User Action:
- Make sure that the network and the remote print server are
operational. If so, try the print job again. If the problem persists, please
contact Technical Support.
DATAXFERFAIL, failed to transfer data to remote queue.
- Severity:
- Fatal
- Explanation:
- The terminal was unable to transfer all the print data to the
remote print server.
- User Action:
- Make sure that the network and the remote print server are
operational. If so, try the print job again. If the problem persists, please
contact Technical Support.
DATAXFERCMPLTFAIL, failed to complete transfer of data file to remote queue.
- Severity:
- Fatal
- Explanation:
- The end of data transmission was not acknowledged.
- User Action:
- Make sure that the network and the remote print server are
operational. If so, try the print job again. If the problem persists, please contact
Technical Support.
GBMALLOCFAIL, malloc of print buffer size bytes for print gather buffer failed
- Severity:
- Fatal
- Explanation:
- The print job is first gathered into a buffer, then sent to the
remote print server. In this case, not enough memory could be allocated for
the print gather buffer.
- User Action:
- Free terminal memory by closing unused local or remote clients.
GBREALLOCOK, adjusted gather buffer size to gb_size = new print buffer size
- Severity:
- Information
- Explanation:
- The request for more memory for the print gather buffer was
successful.
- User Action:
- None
LOSTCONN, lost connection.
- Severity:
- Warning
- Explanation:
- The connection to the LPD on the remote print server was lost.
- User Action:
- None
LPDCONNECT, sending to print server, print queue.
- Severity:
- Information
- Explanation:
- A connection to the remote print server was established, and the
job will be spooled to the identified queue.
- User Action:
- None
MEMCPFAIL, memcopy of printer data failed.
- Severity:
- Error
- Explanation:
- The printer data could not be placed in the print gather buffer.
- User Action:
- Try the print job again. If the problem persists, please contact
Technical Support.
MOREMEM, realloc'ing for more print buffer space, total_bytes = bytes placed in print buffer, length = amount of additional data to be placed in print buffer, gb_size = current print buffer size.
- Severity:
- Information
- Explanation:
- The print job exceeded the initial print gather buffer allocation,
so more memory is being obtained for the buffer.
- User Action:
- None
MOREMEMFAIL, realloc failed.
- Severity:
- Error
- Explanation:
- There was not enough contiguous memory to expand the print
gather buffer to the required size.
- User Action:
- Free terminal memory by closing unused clients.
NOPRINTER, printer device off line or out of paper
- Severity:
- Fatal
- Explanation:
- The status lines of the parallel port indicate that the printer is
either turned off or out of paper.
- User Action:
- Make sure that power is applied to the printer and that the
printer has paper.
REMNORESP, remote printer not responding
- Severity:
- Fatal
- Explanation:
- Couldn't connect to the LPD port on the remote print server.
- User Action:
- Make sure the remote print server is configured to accept print
jobs from the terminal. For example, LPD must be running on the remote print
server and the terminal must be listed in the /etc/hosts.lpd file. Also, make sure
the hostname for the remote print server is correct in the browser-printer-table.
SERIALDCMD, error writing to seriald: couldn't check device status.
- Severity:
- Error
- Explanation:
- Local print jobs are spooled via the Serial daemon to the parallel
port. Before any data is sent to the parallel port, a command is sent to the
daemon to check the status of the parallel port.
- User Action:
- If the job does not print, try again. If the problem persists, please
contact Technical Support.
UNKHOST, unknown host hostname
- Severity:
- Fatal
- Explanation:
- The terminal could not resolve the hostname of the remote print
server.
- User Action:
- Examine the browser-printer-table entry, and make sure that the
hostname of the remote print server is correct.
