These processes are configured in /etc/ioland.cf -x3 -T -p inn_chase 10002 iol.inn2 The first 3 fields are startup options the last 3 field define the following: inn_chase The name of the terminal server the printer is attached to. There has to be a corresponding entry in the /etc/hosts file. 10002 The terminal server port. The same port in the terminal server port configuration shown in the included printer port configuration. iol.inn2 The device file. There will be a /dev/iol.inn2 on the UNIX system. This device is the device name used by the UNIX spooler similar to /dev/ttya01. Each line in ioland.cf should have a corresponding process running. Restarting an ioland printer process If a ioland process has to be killed for a printer, first enter lpstat -v to determine the device file for the printer. After the device file is determined, find the process by enter: ps -ef |grep device_name where the device_name the device that was displayed by the lpstat command. The output from the ps command will give the process id which needs to be killed. Kill the process.
