I am having a problem with one HP printer. It looks like everything is set up correctly in printcap. However, when I
go to print to it the entry hangs in the queue. Is there anywhere to find network errors? The only thing that shows is
a "timeout". The entry in bootptab on the name server is (xxx substituted):

prchprnt:\
        :ht=ether:\
        :ha=00.60.b0.71.75.0b:\
        :sm=255.255.255.0:\
        :lg=xxx.xxx.132.5:\
        :gw=xxx.xxx.134.237:\
        :hn:\
        :T144="hpnp/prchprnt.cfg":\
        :ip=xxx.xxx.134.104:\
        :vm=rfc1048:

When I telnet into the printer the configuration displays as follows:

 
   ===JetDirect Telnet Configuration===
        Present Config : FRONT PANEL/TELNET
        MAC Address : 00:60:b0:71:75:0b
 
        IP Address : xxx.xxx.134.104
        Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0
        Default Gateway : xxx.xxx.134.237
        Syslog Server : xxx.xxx.132.5
        Idle Timeout : 90 Seconds
        Set Cmnty Name : Not Specified
        Host Name : prchprnt
 
        DHCP Config : Disabled
        Passwd : Disabled
        Novell : Enabled
        DLC/LLC : Enabled
        Ethertalk : Enabled
        Banner page : Enabled

Printcap entry:

prchprnt|lp23:\
        :af=/usr/adm/prchprnt.acct:\
        :ct=tcp:\
        :lf=/usr/adm/prchprnt.err:\
        :fc#0177777:\
        :fs#2:\
        :lp=_at_prchprnt/hp_filter:\
        :mx#0:\
        :if=/usr/lbin/pcfof +Ccusthp4mplus.pcf:\
        :of=/usr/lbin/pcfof +Ccusthp4mplus.pcf:\
        :pl#66:\
        :pw#80:\
        :rw:\
        :sd=/usr/spool/prchprnt:\
        :xf=/usr/lbin/xf:

Any ideas where to look?
