Printer stopped working

I have a serial printer connected to a 16 port ran. All of a sudden my printer stopped working and not sure how to get it back. Can anyone help pint me in the write direction?


lsdev -Cc printer gives me the following. [Should this say available?]

Code:
lp0 Defined 0A-08-11-00 Other serial printer
lp1 Defined 0A-08-11-03 Other serial printer
lp2 Defined 0A-08-12-00 Other serial printer
lp4 Defined 0A-08-12-14 Other serial printer
lp5 Defined 0A-08-12-01 Other serial printer
lp6 Defined 0A-08-12-12 Other serial printer
lp7 Defined 0A-08-12-02 Other serial printer
lp8 Defined 0A-08-12-03 Other serial printer


lptest 10 10 > /dev/lp0
There is a request to a device or address that does not exist.
ksh: /dev/lp0: 0403-005 Cannot create the specified file.
