Resources

maxproc: Maximum number of background (filter) jobs. The default is 20.
maxtries: Maximum number of minutes to retry opening the database files. The default is 30 minutes.
sleeptime: Sleep time between two polls. The default is 10 seconds.
shell_cmd: Shell that runs the lp6.2 system interface. The default is /bin/sh.
strict: The interval in seconds that the printer daemon command (up/down) is checked for all devices. If this resource is not set, the printer daemon command of the device in question is checked as soon as a print job is found.
Change default values in the $BSE/lib/defaults/pdaemon6.2 file.

Note: For best results, you must group physical printers into logical printers. The daemon recognizes whether a printer is busy and chooses another physical printer device. The daemon also calculates the size of the various queues for physical printers. The daemon chooses the queue with the fewest number of bytes.
