Rlpr call failure
We have an automated job to send files to a printer/queue on the network using the "rlpr" command.
This job works most of the time, however it has not worked for the past few days.
The error message showing up in our logs is as follows:
/usr/local/bin/rlpr: error: check_ack: timed out waiting for ACK to our job request
/usr/local/bin/rlpr: fatal error: unable to send job request to lpd
Does anybody have any idea on what might be causing the problem? or where we could start to look to troubleshoot?
Our O.S. is HP-UX 11i v3.
Any advice would be much appreciated.

rlprrc
rlprrc(5) UNIX Reference Manual rlprrc(5)
NAME
rlprrc - remote printing resource file
DESCRIPTION
The rlprrc configuration file is consulted by the remote printing commands (rlpr(1), rlpq(1), and rlprm(1)) to resolve a printqueue or a
hostname. It can be used to either lookup a printqueue (printer) for a given host, or a host for a given printqueue. If both the printer
and the printhost are known, this file is never consulted.
Initially, the remote printing commands look for the file .rlprrc in the user's home directory. If that file cannot be found or does not
provide the information necessary to resolve the query, then the system-wide /etc/rlprrc is consulted (if present). If resolution is still
unsuccessful, the command fails.
There is one entry per line - each line has the format:
hostname: printer1 printer2 ... printerN
Which indicates that host hostname has printers printer1 printer2 ... printerN available. In the case where the remote printing command
knows the host to print to but does not know which printer to use on that host, the first one (printer1 here) will be used.
In the case where the remote printing command knows the printqueue (printer) to print to but does not know what host has that queue, the
last host which has the specified printqueue is used. If this behavior is not acceptable, you can force a certain host to always be used
for a certain printqueue by putting a ! after the printqueue name.
For example, an .rlprrc file containing:
foo.baz.org: litho laserjet4!
foo.bar.org: laserjet4 lineprinter
will always resolve the printqueue laserjet4 to foo.baz.org no matter what other hosts have a printqueue named laserjet4.
The rlprrc file is only consulted in situations where a printqueue or hostname needs to be resolved. It is provided only for convenience
and is not required.
