Have you checked to see if there are any running processes associated with the printer? Have you tried to stop and restart lpsched?

[OldSchool]

what kind of printer?

newly installed -or- existing printer that used to work?

[Robert Salter]

Is the lan connected directly to the printer or through a jet-direct?

[Bill Hassell]

Since hpnpadmin can query the printer, bypass the spooler and print directly using hpnpf:

hpnpf -x 12.34.56.78 -N /etc/profile

If that prints OK, then the spooler is not functioning. Delete the printer and add it back using these commands:

removequeue -fq myprinter
addqueue -h 12.34.56.78 -q myprinter -r off -b off -t off

Also verify the files and directories for the spooler:

swverify PrinterMgmt

Run the command shown at the bottom of this listing.
