One of my users is having trouble printing to a remote system using the lpr -P command.  He wants to send toe print job to a printer on another system, named aragorn, and pick the print queue hp5si:

lpr -Paragorn:hp5si file_name

but gets the error:

lpr: unable to print file: client-error-not-found


/var/log/cups/error_log on the destination system says:

print_job: resource name '/printers/aragorn:hp5si' no good!

aragorn is configured to be a print server for all systems on it's subnet.   My user wants to send jobs from  a solaris system, but my attempts from LINUX systems fail in the same manner.



Any advice?
