There is something queued to a printer that is not responding. Each time the print queue tries to deliver it, you get this response.
It may be that the queue is automatically enabled periodically, hence you get the repeated failure.
What does the output of lpstat with various flags give you? Refer to the manual pages for the appropriate flags for your server, as they vary from supplier to supplier and between versions and you don't say which version of Solaris you are using.
Please post all code, files, input & output/errors in CODE tags (edit your last post to see what I have added for you)
It makes it far easier to read and preserves multiple spaces for indentation or fixed-width data.
So something like this:-

....looks like this:-

I have a printing issue I need some help with. I have a printer that will advance a sheet of paper prior to printing a print job. This is not a banner page, it's just a blank page. The O/S is AIX. I know that in SCO and Other Unix's there are printer interface files that more or less tell the... (1 Reply)

Hello group.
I recently upgraded my company's server from an IBM P520 w/AIX 5.1 to a new Power 8 w/AIX 7.2. The old server used serial printing and we turned off the print queing feature. We did this because we have many custom forms and did not want a que/spooling situation where a print job... (1 Reply)

ppmtosixel(1) General Commands Manual ppmtosixel(1)NAME
ppmtosixel - convert a portable pixmap into DEC sixel format
SYNOPSIS
ppmtosixel [-raw] [-margin] [ppmfile]
DESCRIPTION
Reads a portable pixmap as input. Produces sixel commands (SIX) as output. The output is formatted for color printing, e.g. for a DEC
LJ250 color inkjet printer.
If RGB values from the PPM file do not have maxval=100, the RGB values are rescaled. A printer control header and a color assignment table
begin the SIX file. Image data is written in a compressed format by default. A printer control footer ends the image file.
OPTIONS -raw If specified, each pixel will be explicitly described in the image file. If -raw is not specified, output will default to com-
pressed format in which identical adjacent pixels are replaced by "repeat pixel" commands. A raw file is often an order of magni-
tude larger than a compressed file and prints much slower.
-margin
If -margin is not specified, the image will be start at the left margin (of the window, paper, or whatever). If -margin is speci-
fied, a 1.5 inch left margin will offset the image.
PRINTING
Generally, sixel files must reach the printer unfiltered. Use the lpr -x option or cat filename > /dev/tty0?.
BUGS
Upon rescaling, truncation of the least significant bits of RGB values may result in poor color conversion. If the original PPM maxval was
greater than 100, rescaling also reduces the image depth. While the actual RGB values from the ppm file are more or less retained, the
color palette of the LJ250 may not match the colors on your screen. This seems to be a printer limitation.
