Which way did you set up the print spooler in Unix?
Using 'rlpconf', CUPS or hpnp??
If you are using 'rlpconf', check the settings in '/etc/printcap' for 'rp=' setting.
Make sure that the Remote spooler name is correct for your print spooler device.
As for the print spooler device, what make/model?
I know that for most HP Jetdirect units, the 'rp=' should normally be set to 'raw' (with 'raw1', 'raw2' and 'raw3' for most 3 port units.)

chkprintcap
CHKPRINTCAP(8) BSD System Manager's Manual CHKPRINTCAP(8)
NAME
chkprintcap -- check validity of entries in the print spooler database
SYNOPSIS
chkprintcap [-d] [-f printcap]
DESCRIPTION
The chkprintcap utility scans a printcap(5) database (named by the printcap argument, or by default /etc/printcap), looking for entries which
are invalid in one way or another. The following checks are currently implemented:
1. 'tc=' references were properly expanded
2. 'tc=' references did not form a loop
3. No two printers share the same spool directory ('sd=' capability).
The chkprintcap utility exits with a status equal to the number of errors encountered before processing stopped. (In some cases, processing
can stop before the entire file is scanned.)
If the -d flag is given, chkprintcap will attempt to create any missing spool directories, giving them 'u=rwx,go=rx' (0755) mode, group
'daemon', and the owner specified by the 'du=' capability in the database (default 1, which corresponds to user 'daemon').
SEE ALSO
lpr(1), printcap(5), lpd(8)
AUTHORS
The chkprintcap utility was written by Garrett A. Wollman <wollman@lcs.mit.edu>.
BUGS
Not enough sanity-checking is done. At a minimum, the ownership and mode of the spool directories should also be checked. Other parameters
whose value could cause lpd(8) to fail should be diagnosed.
