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.

system-config-printer-applet
SYSTEM-CONFIG-PRIN(1) Man pages SYSTEM-CONFIG-PRIN(1)
NAME
system-config-printer-applet - print job manager
SYNOPSIS
system-config-printer-applet [--no-tray-icon]
DESCRIPTION
system-config-printer-applet is a print job manager for CUPS. Normally it will display a printer icon in the notification area, greyed out
when there are no print jobs for the current user. Clicking on the icon displays a simple print job manager for cancelling or reprinting
jobs.
To save memory, the applet waits first of all until the user has printed a job before putting the icon in the notification area. To invoke
the print job manager before a job has been printed, run the applet with the --no-tray-icon option: a desktop file is provided for this, so
that it should appear in the system menu.
As well as displaying a printer icon in the notification area, the applet also provides a D-BUS server for the
com.redhat.PrintDriverSelection interface, to help configure a new printer when it is plugged in.
OPTIONS
--help
Display a short usage message.
--version
Display the version of the applet.
--no-tray-icon
Do not display an icon in the notification area. Quit when the job manager window is closed.
