    Hi everybody,

    I've been searching the aix-l archives and the internet - but couldn't find any helpful information.
    I'm running AIX 5.1 and would like to print to a LAN-printer (DR501) spooled by a W2K server (brvspool1).
    We use "enq -P test test.rt" but nothing is printed, the debugfile on AIX seems to be OK, only W2K
    show an entry in the eventlog.
    Unfortunately I'm rather new to AIX and therefore can't solve the problem.
    I would be glad to get a helping hand.

    Kind regards

    LPD is running on the W2K spooler and gives me the following eventlog entry:
    Source: LPDSVC
    Category: None
    Type: Warning
    Event ID: 4004
    User: N/A
    Computer: BRVSPOOL1

    /etc/qconfig on the AIX box looks like:

    test:
            device = @brvspool1
            up = TRUE
            host = brvspool1.egv.at
            s_statfilter = /usr/lib/lpd/bsdshort
            l_statfilter = /usr/lib/lpd/bsdlong
            rq = DR501
    @brvspool1:
            backend = /usr/lib/lpd/rembak -C -D /test.txt

    The debugging file seems to be OK:
