    What does /etc/qconfig say for each printer? At our site a printer with a JetDirect card is setup with "piojetd", and only printers using AXIS print servers are on "rembak".

    With rembak we also tend to use "-T 45" or the printers drop out.

    Hi,

    The qconfig content on both machine is the same, please refer below info:
    3f-pcs:
    device = @192
    up = TRUE
    host = 192.168.1.110
    s_statfilter = /usr/lib/lpd/aixshort
    l_statfilter = /usr/lib/lpd/aixlong
    rq = 3f-pcs
    @192:
    backend = /usr/lib/lpd/rembak

    Thanks,

    If this is a really an HP Jet Direct printer then you should be using the jetdirect backend.
    Have you installed the device files for Jet Direct?? How did you set up the printer? You didn't say anything about either of these.
    Here's what you should see in the /etc/qconfig for the basic set up of jet direct printers. this is all I use for mine. I've got over 200 jet Direct printers set up on clustered AIX systems.

    v986ps:
    device = hp@v986
    hp@v986:
    file = /var/spool/lpd/pio/@local/dev/hp@v986#hpJetDirect#9100
    header = never
    trailer = never
    access = both
    backend = /usr/lib/lpd/pio/etc/piojetd v986 9100

    Good luck.

    Can you telnet to the printers?

    The printers appear to have different configurations, I notice in the output that one states it is using "JetDirect lpd".

    Use "smit printers" to compare all of the printer characteristics for the two printers.

    I assume that you are not using the same queuename for both printers?

    Check the configuration on the actual printers; sometimes the network guys make life difficult for the UNIX team.
