My AIX system queue is disabled automatically

Problem:

My AIX system queue is disabled after a while and I have to restart it again. Is there any way to keep the AIX queue from being disabled automatically?

Answer:

When the "Receive a <Printer> Job" command is sent by rembak to a <remote> server, a positive acknowledgment should be received by rembak before proceeding with sending datafiles. If rembak does not receive a positive acknowledgement within its timeout period, the <print> request will fail and the queue will be taken down. Datafiles will not be sent across to the lpd server.

With AIX 4.2 and later, set the backend <timeout> period to 120. To do this, add a printer with the following parameters.

Description	Lexmark Printer (Room 330)
* Name of new PRINT QUEUE to add	[aix_queue]
* HOSTNAME of Remote Server	192.168.1.1
* Name of QUEUE on remote server	[rpm_queue]
TYPE of print spooler on remote server	BSD
Send PASS-THROUGH FLAG to queue on remote server?	yes
Backend TIME OUT period (minutes)	[120]
Send control file first?	no

For prior versions of AIX, edit the /etc/qconfig file as follows:

  Parts:  device = @TES_Server1
          up = TRUE
          host = TES_Server1
          s_statfilter = /usr/lib/lpd/bsdshort
          l_statfilter = /usr/lib/lpd/bsdlong
          rq = Parts@TES_Server1:
          backend = /usr/lib/lpd/rembak -T120
