connection to remote printer is down

I can no longer print to remote printers on my L2000 HPUX 11i server. OTHER HPUX SERVERS CAN PRINT TO THEM. I can ping the server.

Within the last week we have done many modications to this server:
changed server name.
modified permissions to many files.
upgraded to Oracle 10G

$lpstat ibm2
connection to ibm2 is down
ngbva.va.aa.aa.army.mil: ibm2: ready and waiting
no entries

$ping ibm2
PING ibm2: 64 byte packets
64 bytes from 99.99.99.99: icmp_seq=0. time=3. ms
64 bytes from 99.99.99.99: icmp_seq=1. time=2. ms

Re: connection to remote printer is down

Millsm,

Did you already check for the remote printer daemon where the printer is located,
make sure the this line is not commented out:

printer stream tcp nowait root /usr/lib/rlpdaemon rlpdaemon -i

in /etc/inetd.conf.

Regards,

Jaime.

Work hard when the need comes out.
