Cannot add printer to SCO OS 6

Smilie
I am trying to add some printers under SCO OpenServer 6 and everytime I try to open the printer manager it returns a message that reads "Unable to get allowed/denied form users." "Failed to establish user authorizations." When I press the details button is gives me the following Error Details;

"Failed to establish user authorizations.
mopar3 failed to connect to mopar3.

Please check the following;
* Your network configuration
* Your network connection
* rhost permissions on the remote site.
* that SCOadmin is installed at the remote site.
Failure with connection to server.
Remote child on machine mopar3.lan has terminated
The child program /etc/sysadm.d/bin/osaserver hast teminated
Server process exited with exit(1).
Error with server process: mopar3.lan: unknown host
mopar3.lan: Host name lookup failure."

Thanks
