proc-num DEV: device-name SNMP Printer Status = 
printer-status
proc-num
is the process number (CPU, PIN) of the process.
device-name
is the Spooler device name.
printer-status
is the printer status text returned by the HP JetDirect printer.
Cause. This message applies to FASTPTCP and HP JetDirect printers only. The
SMNP Get-Response returned the status text specified for printer-status and
FASTPTCP does not recognize this status. FASTPTCP has an internal list of the exact
text returned from the printer. As HP or third-party emulators release new printers,
network cards, or firmware updates, sometimes a new status message is added or the
text of an existing message is slightly altered.
Effect. Because FASTPTCP retries the poll operation to retrieve the SNMP status, a
later poll might return a status code recognized by FASTPTCP, and normal operation
continues. If a valid status is not received after repeated retries, then one of the
following effects can occur:
The Spooler print job can be requeued, and the Spooler device placed offline. This
can result in the same job being reprinted one or more times.
The end of the print job could be truncated.
The print job might be terminated before any printing occurs. In this case, the
Spooler print job would be requeued, and the Spooler device placed offline.
Recovery. Consider using FASTCNFG POLLTYPE and DEVICE POLLTYPE to
explicitly handle this printer status text. If there are no other problems, then the
problem can be ignored. If the problems (jobs printing more than once, jobs not printing
to completion, or jobs not printing at all) persist consider configuring the printer using
the LPD protocol (PROTOCOL=LPD1179) instead as described in
DEVICE Attributes for Devices Connected to Line Printer Daemons (LPDs)
page 3-35 or contact your service provider as described in
