Solaris network printer does not print after cluster patch

[lordblood]

I'm having problems getting our network printer back up and running after applying the [tt]Solaris 10 x86 Recommended Patch Cluster[/tt]. The Solaris box was printing just fine before the patch. The problem resolves around the use of Solaris' [tt]lp[/tt] command. If I use the [tt]lpr[/tt] command, everything prints just about fine. So in essence, [tt]lp[/tt] does not work but [tt]lpr[/tt] works.

I tried to trouble shoot by creating a localq file as described by sun on thier developers.sun.com site.

# touch /var/tmp/localq
# chmod 666 /var/tmp/localq
# lpadmin -p localq -v /var/tmp/localq
# enable localq
# accept localq

The funny thing is when I submit a print job, I sometimes get just the banner page. Other times, I get the whole print job. For example, if I print the [tt]/etc/profile[/tt] file, I get a normal print (even to the printer). But, If I print a file with just "This is a Test", I receive only the banner page.

I have deleted and recreated the printer to see if anything was fishy ... no dice.

I'm not very familiar with troubleshooting Solaris printer problems as this is the only one I ever set up. Not sure what files would be needed to tell where the problem lies except I know its not with the printer. I believe the localq test would show that.

Here are some of the items I looked at to get a handle on the problem:
