    Hi,

    I have installed CUPS 1.3.11 on AIX 6.1 and defined printer test1 in CUPS.
    Test page from CUPS work fine but when a try to print from command line i get error:

    #lp -d test1 hosts
    enq: (FATAL ERROR): Bad queue or device name: test1.
    #lpq -P test1
    qstatus: (WARNING): Invalid printer name: test1
    Queue Dev Status Job Files User PP % Blks Cp Rnk

    What is wrong in printer definition?

    Regards.

    lp an lpstat in my case was from aix not from CUPS.

    With #/usr/local/bin/lpstat -ptest1 and #/usr/local/bin/lp -d test1 file everything works fine.
