Hi Sarfaraz,

I had followed the steps exacty the way you suggested.
Once everyting is done, i get the status as ready and later once i give a test print, the status is down and the print is queued.
Code:
Queue   Dev   Status    Job Files              User         PP %   Blks  Cp Rnk
------- ----- --------- --- ------------------ ---------- ---- -- ----- --- ---
xxxxxx  @10 CONNECT    10 /etc/motd          root                   2   1   1

After sometime
Code:
Queue   Dev   Status    Job Files              User         PP %   Blks  Cp Rnk
------- ----- --------- --- ------------------ ---------- ---- -- ----- --- ---
xxxxxx  @10  DOWN
              QUEUED     10 /etc/motd          root                   2   1   1

I tried HOSTNAME of the remote server with both IP as well as name itself(added in /etc/hosts) but the output is same.

When i check with lpstat command, i got the below message.
Code:
(WARNING) 0781-375 Connection to server failed.
rembak: errno = 4: A system call received an interrupt.
xxxxxx xxxxxx HOST_DOWN

When i searched the net with the above error message, i found that i need to "This occurs with Intel NetPort when at AIX 4.3.1. Upgrade AIX bos.printers and bos.rte.printers"
Is upgrading necessary as i am using AIX 6.1.

Regards,
Rocky

Hi Sarfaraz,

My issue has been resolved.Smilie
The port was listening but it was disabled from firewall end with some rule.
Now it has been enabled and i am able to give test prints as well.
Thanks a lot to you and VBE for helping me out in this.

Regards,
Rocky

I hope the moderators, change the thread to solved.

Also, you better be thanking Bakunin, he raised the firewall question previously in the post.
