The problem:

lp: destination "FIN_ZONIK" non-existent

is that someone has removed the definition of this printer in the HP-UX spooling system.

For a list of all the currently defined printers:

# lpstat -v

Or better yet,

# lpstat -v | grep FIN_ZONIK

If nothing comes back from grep, you'll need to add the printer to the spooler.

OK, since it says it doesn't exist (even though lpstat -v seems to show something), try adding the printer back into the spooler again.

exap02:/>lpstat -pFIN_ZONIK
lpstat: printer "FIN_ZONIK" non-existent

all printers have same issue.around 50+ printers suddenly stopped print.

and i can see the printer config on sam under printers and pollers
