AIX 5.3 Cups Printing Not working

Hi Everyone

We have configure Linux based Cups printer 1.4.2 server. We can print ok using lp command from other linux server.

we would like to configure AIX 5.3 server as a client so we can use the same linux based print server.

I installed Cups on AIX 1.4.8 and configured it to poll and browse to proper subnets.

When I try to use lp command with remote printer name it couldn't recognize the printer.

I have enabled the debug2 level for error log and found following entries:
