Hi:

We have a networked QMS printer. A solaris 2.5.1 machine prints
to it just fine. Its name is fred. fred is in Solaris Machine's
host table. All I had to do to set it up is to define a network
printer via admintool (printer : fred server: fred).

We have new Solaris 8 machine. It tried to do the same, but I get
the following message when I do lpstat -t.

printer fred faulted printing fred-0.
server  fred not responding.

I can ping and telnet fred from both Solaris Machines. Any ideas ?

Thanks

What output do you get on the 2.5.1 machine from the commands:

  getent hosts printer-name
  lpstat -v printer-name
  lpstat -lp printer-name
