Very Computer

Looking with svcs, I see:

# svcs -a | grep -i print
online         Jan_05   svc:/application/print/cleanup:default
online         Jan_05   svc:/application/print/ipp-listener:default
online         12:59:41 svc:/application/print/rfc1179:default
online*        14:30:25 svc:/application/print/server:default

What does the 'online*' mean on svc:/application/print/server:default ?

Trying to enable the service does nothing to help:

# svcadm enable application/print/server:default

Again, svcs shows:

# svcs print/server
STATE          STIME    FMRI
online*        14:30:25 svc:/application/print/server:default

Does it indicate some sort of problem, that might expalin an inability
to enable the printer queque?

The specific problem is I can't get the queue to accept print requests.

# accept hp
UX:accept: ERROR: Can't establish contact with the LP print service.
           TO FIX: Either the LP print service has stopped,
                   or all message channels are busy. If the
                   problem continues, get help from your
                   system administrator.

Any ideas? I have not tried rebooting - Solaris is not Windoze.

for a couple of months only. Later set it manually. The month is
always written in 3 letters (e.g. Jan, not January etc)

# svcs -a | grep maintenance
maintenance    15:51:26 svc:/system/system-log:default

I was messing around with syslog.conf yesterday.

disabling and enabling does not cure that one.

# svcadm disable system-log
# svcadm enable system-log
# svcs system-log
STATE          STIME    FMRI
maintenance    15:55:39 svc:/system/system-log:default

which should print a path to its log file. Check its contents.

Also, see what are the dependent services for system-log, and make sure
they're all in an online state, too:

# svcs -d system-log

(And likewise for print/server, too.)

Following suggestion above.

# svcadm clear system-log
# svcs system-log
STATE          STIME    FMRI
online         16:13:30 svc:/system/system-log:default

Still have proiblems with the printer though. I'll have to take another
look.

# svcadm disable print/server
# svcadm enable print/server

# svcs print/server
STATE          STIME    FMRI
online*        14:30:25 svc:/application/print/server:default

# svcs -x print/server
svc:/application/print/server:default (LP print server)
  State: online since Tue Jan 10 14:30:25 2006
    See: lpsched(1M)
    See: /var/svc/log/application-print-server:default.log
Impact: None.
