Printing problem AIX->Tru64->JetDirect

Hi everybody

I have a wired printing problem.
 
1) On a AIX maschine there is a script running every 10 minutes with the
command 'enq -q -P prt315'. This script checks if remote queues are up and
running.

2) A Tru64 Unix 4.0E maschine acts as a print server (about 600 queues).
Each time the script on AIX is running I get the following error on syslog:

lpd[10493]: ERROR -- read_some_chars: read() failed, error: Connection reset
by peer

This error comes only on print queues connected to a JetDirect card (HP).

Could anybody please give me a hint? Printing works fine but this messages
are very confusing :-(

Regards, Jonas
