Problem summary

  • Printer attributes are read by Java Runtime using lpstat command
    on AIX platform whose output is saved in a temporary file prn*
    in temp directory. These files are deleted after the successful
    execution of the command. The  lpstat command is constructed
    with incorrect parameter for reading the printer attribute
    QueueJobCount and resulted in failure always returning 0. The
    prn* temporary file are not  deleted in the error path currently
    which resulted in the accumulation of  zero size prn* files in
    the temp directory.
    

Problem conclusion

  • This defect will be fixed in:
    6.0.0 SR14
    6.0.1 SR6
    7.0.0 SR5
    .
    The JDK has been updated to pass the correct parameter to lpstat
    command and delete the temporary file in the error path
