lpr and an odd "Stale NFS file handle" case

Hi, all!

I'm facing a strange problem here (strange for me, at least :\ ), with an Ultra 60 workstation (Solaris 8 02/02):

After some reboots, every time I try to use "lp" or "lpr" to print some files stored at a NFS filesystem (managed by autofs), I get the message:

$ lpr file.ps
file.ps: Stale NFS file handle

The strange part is: this messages shows up only with "lpr" and "lp". When listing the file, or ever if I try "cat file.ps | lp" the error doesn't occurs (and prints fine)!

The problem occurs only at this workstation, and only with some directories under this NFS filesystem. With others one (within the same FS) it works fine.

I tried restarting autofs and rebooting the system, without sucess(!!!).

Does somebody know how why it happens (or how can I solve this)??

Tnks in advice!!!

[]s!
