Hi All,

This is really weird problem. I have configured remote printer on 7 AIX
servers. This printer works on 5 systems but does not on two production
systems where I want this to work. I can ping and telnet to printer port
from all the systems so that drops network issues - No network issues.

Printer Working on this system: BACSBOX is the Queue name.

I can telnet to port 1037 - No connectivity problem.
I deleted and recreated this queue 10 times, refreshed spooler daemon .
Without any luck.

f3n43 />telnet BACSBOX 1037
Trying...

f3n43 />grep BACSBOX /etc/qconfig

I will really appreciate your help in this configuration.

Thanks
