The only time I use lpadmin is when creating or deleting a printer. I must have missed your context.
I you have error messages, please post the command typed (blotting anything confidential with X's) and the exact error message received verbatim. Please avoid paraphrasing error messages.
Please provide a lot more detail and context about how the server connects to the printer, commands typed which work and commands typed which fail (complete with symptoms and any error messages).
Btw. It can be easier to administer printers with the X-Windows SAM interface rather than from the command line.
