Error code 0782-006 -S Flag not supported for this print file,printer language and printer type selected for the print job,Check the flags.

Can some one shed some light on these??

Cheers

You didn't say what print command you used. This normally means that the -S flag was used by enq or qprt and that it is not defined for the virtual printer. You haven't described how you printed to get this error or the type of printer that you defined.

The HP1022 is not a supported printer type on AIX. What type of virtual printer did you setup when you created this queue.

Try this.
lsvirprt

• This is not the S attribute. So somehone the -S flag is getting passed to the queue by your print job.

1. which lp

/usr/bin/lp

1. ls -l /usr/bin/lp

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root system 15 Apr 13 15:25 /usr/bin/lp -> /usr/aix/bin/lp

• Make sure that /usr/bin/lp is pointed to /usr/aix/bin/lp

Since it sounds like you are not using any flags, this error should not normally occur if you have the right lp installed.

1. disable queuename

---

1. disable hp8100
2. echo "AAA" | lp -d hp8100

Job number is: 34

1. ls -l /var/spool/lpd/qdir/*hp8100*

• This is the job description file. As you can see I have no -S flag in this file so I'm not sure why you would have this attribute in your command or virtual printer.

• Did you ever manually edit /etc/qconfig?

lsque -q queuename
lsquedev -q queuename -d devname

• Give me that information at it will help solve this.
• I need to know the backend you are using, but all will be helpful

You've got something wrong.

It is just another printer of the same that Iam cannot configured..Anyway I'll try your tips and see if it makes a difference.

FWIW,

The HP 1022n printer is a host-based printer; refer to http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?objectID=bpl07860

As such, I think you are going to have problems getting this printer to work with AIX. You might be able to find a linux-compatible driver for this printer here:
