error transfering print job
I have this problem in the UNIX server I'm login from my PC to the server by telnet ?
error transferring print job 552
Check queue for (pr5@nksubs)
this is information from excuting lpstat command :
printer nksubs unknown state. enabled since May 22 13:53 2004. available.
Remote Name: pr5
Remote Server: nksubs
I need a solution for it
Notice : when I run this command : enable nksubs
it gives me this warning message : Warning: nksubs is remote, enable has no meaning.
when I use lpc command : lpc restart nksubs
it says unknown printer ( the printer already configured in printers.conf file)

I recently installed the latest patch cluster on our Solaris 9 machines and recently started getting the same error messages. I have dug around in the sun website and found some info at sunsolve.sun.com. Document id 5072164, libprint's network timeout of 5 seconds is too small, indicates that there is a network timeout value for lp. The value is called write_wait_time_sec, which defaults to 5 sec. The document says to edit it with mdb (a program to edit system variables on the fly), but I can't find the variable in our system, so I need to contact Sun, but our service contract with sun recently ran out and is in the process of being renewed. Since this is not a critical error, I'll wait until we get the contract renewed. This mainly effects larger print files causing the file to not print out entirely. Hope this helps.

I recently ran into the same printing issue. Turns out that there were numerous defunct lockd (NFSlockd) processes on the print server that had apparently filled up the queue.
This prevented many users from opening any files from the exported NFS drives and also apparently prevented the printer from creating a spool... or something to that effect.
Restarting NFS/lockd and/or rebooting the affected server resolved the issue.
