Sco-Unix IP Printer no longer working

I have a client running Sco-Unix 5.
They have many IP Printers setup.
One of the IP Printers is "LPJ", it has been functional for 3 weeks and then the switch died and hung up the queue. We reset the switch and restarted the jobs and they printed.
The switch went down again and we replaced the switch and restarted the jobs and nothing printed.
The printer is functional, can be pinged and can be printed from windows.
The Unix print manager is recieving the print requests and I can transfer the "LPJ" jobs to another queue and they will print fine.
The /etc/hosts file is correct
The printer is printing to /dev/null
The model is correct.
I have attempted to print the hosts file from the terminal and the job hangs until I transfer it to another queue.

So what am I missing here? What do I need to change or check to get this printer to print again.

NAME
cupsd-helper - cupsd helper programs SYNOPSIS
cups-deviced request-id limit user-id options cups-driverd cat ppd-name cups-driverd list request_id limit options cups-exec sandbox-profile [ -g group-id ] [ -n nice-value ] [ -u user-id ] /path/to/program argv0 ... argvN DESCRIPTION
The cupsd-helper programs perform long-running operations on behalf of the scheduler, cupsd(8). The cups-deviced helper program runs each CUPS backend(7) with no arguments in order to discover the available printers. The cups-driverd helper program lists all available printer drivers, a subset of "matching" printer drivers, or a copy of a specific driver PPD file. The cups-exec helper program runs backends, filters, and other programs. On macOS these programs are run in a secure sandbox. FILES
The cups-driverd program looks for PPD and driver information files in the following directories: /Library/Printers /opt/share/ppd /System/Library/Printers /usr/local/share/ppd /usr/share/cups/drv /usr/share/cups/model /usr/share/ppd PPD files can be compressed using the gzip(1) program or placed in compressed tar(1) archives to further reduce their size. Driver information files must conform to the format defined in ppdcfile(5). SEE ALSO
