Printing problem

Dear managers,

We are running OSF1 alpha V3.2G in both AlphaServer 1000A and AlphaServer 1200 machines. We are using HP4M printers to print reports in postscript. I can print reports in AlphaServer 1000A. But I can't print out anything from Digital AlphaServer 1200 machine. I set up the printers in the same way in both machines. I also checked /etc/printcap in both machines. They look absolutely same. I'm not sure what kind of other things I need to check. I enclosed the printer setup in AlphaServer 1200 as follows,

mis1|lp1:\
        :if=/usr/lbin/hplaser4psof:\
        :lf=/usr/adm/mis1err:\
        :lp=_at_eqnx1/port15:\
        :mx#0:\
        :of=/usr/lbin/hplaser4psof:\
        :pl#66:\
        :pw#80:\
        :rw:\
        :sd=/usr/spool/mis1:\
        :xf=/usr/lbin/xf:

I also enclose the status of printer mis1 after I send a printer job to printer mis1,

mis1:
        printer is on device '_at_eqnx1/port15' speed -1
        queuing is enabled
        printing is enabled
        1 entry in spool area
        no daemon present

The script I used for mis1 is as follows,

#!/bin/sh
# echo "statusdict begin 0 setpapertray end"|lpr -h -x -Pmis1 &
cat - > /usr/tmp/mis1.$$
if egrep -iq '^%!.*Adobe' /usr/tmp/mis1.$$ > /dev/null
then
        cat /usr/tmp/mis1.$$ | lpr -h -x -Pmis1 &
else
        cat /usr/tmp/mis1.$$ |sed \$s/^L// | /usr/local/bin/a2ps -1 -ns -nu -nL
-nH -nP -nd -p -l66 -q |cat /usr/local/sh/tray0 - | lpr -h -x -Pmis1 &
fi

Does anyone know how to get it working?

Thank you for all of the help in advance.
