Missing or corrupted database files
If certain files used by the Printer Manager have been removed or
corrupted, the manager may fail to function:
/etc/printcap-
If this file is missing, the Printer Manager will become stuck
during initialization and will not start up. The progress indicator will
work continuously until the screen is closed. If the file is
corrupted, an error message will be displayed. You should restore
the file from backups.
/usr/spool/lp/admins/lp/printers/printername/configuration-
If the configuration file is missing for a given printer, the
Printer Manager will abort at startup with an error trace
saved to /tmp/tclerror.number.log.
Check the files in the above directory to see if any are
missing. If there are, restore them from backups.
