HPJetadmin Printing Issue

I have Solairs 10 6/06. I am trying to print to a network attached HP 5M printer.

I have tried lpadmin and cups and cannot get either to work.

I followed the instructions in the sun handbook for printing to the HP.

# svcs -a | grep print

online Sep_01svc:/application/print/cleanup:default

online 23:03:45 svc:/application/print/server:default

online 23:23:15 svc:/application/print/rfc1179:default

maintenance23:03:46 svc:/application/print/ipp-listener:default

I tried w/ CUPS as well. Cups install perfectly and I was able to get the the management screen.I am addressing the printer via the printername:9100. I have an entry for the printer name in /etc/hosts and when I ping the name it resolves.

In addition I am able to telnet into the printer with printername:9100.

I cannot use the JetAdmin package from HP because when I ran it I got an unknown architecture error. My guess is it is looking for a SPARC processor and I am running i386.

I have used cups successfully in BSD and printed to the machine w/o a problem. The logs are very terse (/var/log/print). Is there somewhere else to look for hints/clues. Anyone have any ideas.

I also tried via the gui interface with the Java Desktop.

I'd like to add the following:

# lpstat -d

system default destination: prtr

# lpstat -a

prtr accepting requests since Sun Sep 03 07:20:20 2006

_default accepting requests since Sun Sep 03 07:20:20 2006

# echo "hi" |lp prtr

UX:lp: WARNING: Cannot access the file:

prtr.

TO FIX: Make sure file names are valid.

UX:lp: ERROR: No (or empty) input files.

I believe the above indicate the problem but I cannot find the solution from all the docs i have read

Probably you just forgot the -d (destination) flag. By the way if the print queue is the default queue (like displayed in the output of the lpstat -d command) you can also not to put it.So, try the command #echo "hi"|lp over
