How to Send Print Requests to a Remote Printer When They Back Up in the Local Queue

1. On the print client, stop further queuing of print requests to the print server.

   # reject printer-name

2. On the print client, send an “are you there?” request to the print server.

   print_client# ping print_server print_server is alive

   If you receive the message print_server not available, you might have a network problem.

3. After you fix the above problem, allow new print requests to be queued.

   # accept printer-name

4. If necessary, re-enable the printer.

   # enable printer-name
