Problem defining remote printers on solaris 10

Good morning,

I have a server with solaris 10 that I want to intall remote printers.
I started lpsched deamon without problems with command:

svcadm enable application/print/server

I want to install printers that are defined locally on print server, so:

lpadmin -p <device> -s <print server>
lpadmin -p <device> -T unknown -I any

I have always used this metod that has ever run correctly.

Now with solaris 10, after the printer was defined, if I want to see my device with command:

lpstat -t

The output is:

root@rubik # lpstat -t
scheduler is running
no system default destination
Segmentation Fault - core dumped

Anyone can help me please?

Thanks a lot

Solaris 10 - 11/06
Patch level 137111-03

Printers that I need to install are laser / inkjet vendor HP; impact printers vendor OKI and termic printers vendor Intermec.

I already defined all printers (like 300) on server with solaris 9 and also solaris 10. On August sistems was patched but I didn't had necessity of configure remote printers. Only now a user asked me to configure a printer on my quality sistem and I've found the problem.
I think that a patch could correct the problem.
