Caveats
The Hot Folder feature may not be available on Mac OS 9
since Mac OS 9 does not support SAMBA.
There is no authentication support for Hot Folder access
All
hot folders are publicly
visible.
The FreeFlow Print Server does not know who the actual job
submitter is.
The sender name specified on the GUI is a
generic name (and is “HotFolderClient”).
Troubleshooting Hot Folder problems
The following logs are important for troubleshooting problems; if
there was no response from the agent to the browser, one or all for
the followings can be done:
NOTE:
You must be root to use the following tools.
# prstat
Shows activity of the processor and running programs.
Often this is seen whether or not the
hf_observer
is still
running.
It may be that one of the processes that is using a
lot of processor time is contributing to the reason the
hf_observer cannot respond and therefore cannot submit
jobs to the print server.
Normally, the user should see the hf_observer takes less
than 1.0% of the CPU time. The following line shows only
0.7% consumption of the CPU time.
