Printing problem

[Kevin_107]

I have a HP Laserjet 4000 Series. I am unable to print using the lp command or via the vue screen...it will print the config from Jetadmin and I can ping the printer it is also in the host file...any ideas !?!
Thanks in advance

Kevin,

How do you have the printer defined? (model, interface, ...)

And I'll assume that you are on the same network without any routing rules or firewalls prohibiting you from getting to the printer?

I know it's trivial, but is the spooler started?.

Yes the spooler is started and the model is laserjet 4000 series..

Kevin,

It needs to accept requests and be enabled:

/usr/lib/accept $PRNTR

/usr/bin/enable $PRNTR

Check your lpstat!

when running a lpstat -t...it states that its enabled and accepting requests...when I print something to it..the request just sits in the queue stating its printing, but doesnt.
