"1800-036 ODM" error when changing printer parameter

[Alain DE WIT]

Hi,
I have printers connected to AIX 4.3.3 through Hp JetDirect boxes.
When trying to modify parameters for these printers I get the following message:

1800-036 ODM odm_open_class() failed for
(SMIT/ODM database) object class (file):
"sm_cmd_opt"
on object repository path:
"/var/spool/lpd/pio/GARP/smit".
Check path and permissions for
the object repository path of
the SMIT/ODM database or use local
problem reporting procedures.
The -o command line parameter may be
used to change this path from its
default value.

To make the changes active I need to reboot !!

Does anyone have a solution or any sugestions ?

Regards

cd /usr/lpp/printers.rte/inst_root/var/spool/lpd/pio/@local/smit/* \
/var/spool/lpd/pio/@local/smit
cd /var/spool/lpd/pio/@local/custom
for QUEUE in `ls`
do
/usr/lib/lpd/pio/etc/piodigest $QUEUE
done

That should fix it.

Paul

dunno why your error message mentions "GARP". perhaps try replacing @local with GARP
in the commands mentioned below. Also, first command is typo, should be cp..., not cd...
that may be part of the problem too...

You're right - I did typo - that should be cp. Also, it could be that
/var/spool/lpd/pio/GARP is not a symbolic link to /var/spool/lpd/pio/@local.
If the hostname of this machine is "GARP" then it would like for GARP to be
linked to @local.
