Remote Printing to a Minolta Di350 1

[necsi]

I am trying to print remotely from an RS/6K (F50, AIX 4.3.2) to a Minolta Di350 copier/printer which is on the network. It prints fine from the Win-NT Server.
I have added the queue as an HPJETDIRECT (PCL), as an IBMNETPRINTER (PCL) and also as OTHER. The IP address is 182.5.199.47. I can ping it and telnet to it.
The lpstat -pminolta either shows the printer ready or
running, but the jobs never print. I have to 'cancel' the print jobs to try other options.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Just a note....things to check....
==========================
Remote Printer Checklist

Check the following items for the host acting as the remote print server:
Make sure that all client machines (foreign hosts) are listed in the
/etc/hosts.lpd file. (I make one line for each IP on oneline and
hostname on another line...)
I make sure there is an /etc/netsvc.conf file with hosts=local,bind
(if you are doing DNS...if just hosts not DNS.... hosts=local
Make sure that the TCP/IP subsystem is running.
lssrc -g tcpip lssrc -g spooler
Check for the existence of the /usr/spool/lpd directory.
Make sure that the /etc/locks/lpd directory does not exist
if the lpd daemon is not running.
Make sure that both the lpd daemon and the qdaemon are running.
lssrc -g spooler....
(stopsrc -cg spooler; startsrc -g spooler)
Check the "Local Printer Checklist".
