Remote print from SLES (SAP) to AIX 7.1 04 sp2 virtual printer queue gets down

Hello Administrators.
I have a bit difficult problem.
I have local virtual printer that has backend defined in /etc/qconf to script which in turns sends the spool to the real device.
whenever I print locally (from sap) the print works as it should. The printer queue after the print is done remains in status ,,ready''.
However i've setup a remote SAP system on SLES12. The SAP can connect to the aix just fine (the lpd daemon is working), but whenever I try to print anything from it the jobs are send to the aix's virtual printer queue and then..the queue gets status down immediately.
Whatever I do I cannot enable the queue when those jobs are in status QUEUED.
To get the queue up, I need to put all jobs on hold with qhold -P command, and only then I can enable the queue.
However enabling any of held jobs , or trying to print anything from remote SAP puts the queue immediately again into DOWN status.

what am I missing ?
the remote SLES system was added to the /etc/hosts and /etc/hosts.lpd file. The AIX clearly accepts job requests since I can see them in the queue.
In my opinion it is not a sap problem but AIXes, which for some reason any remote print requests treats immediately as a reason to put down the whole queue...

thanks in advance for help !

NAME

       lpq - show printer queue status

SYNOPSIS

       lpq [ -E ] [ -U username ] [ -h server[:port] ] [ -P destination[/instance] ] [ -a ] [ -l ] [ +interval ]

DESCRIPTION

       lpq  shows the current print queue status on the named printer. Jobs queued on the default destination will be shown if no printer or class
       is specified on the command-line.

       The +interval option allows you to continuously report the jobs in the queue until the queue is empty; the list of jobs is shown once every
       interval seconds.

OPTIONS

       lpq supports the following options:

       -E
            Forces encryption when connecting to the server.

       -P destination[/instance]
            Specifies an alternate printer or class name.

       -U username
            Specifies an alternate username.

       -a
            Reports jobs on all printers.

       -h server[:port]
            Specifies an alternate server.

       -l
            Requests a more verbose (long) reporting format.
