hi,
looks like you should do some further investigation to see if the queue on the SUN
box is OK do something like lpq -Plj2g6cal@lphost on the LINUX box, if this looks
good you can send a job directly to that queue by using lpr -Plj2g6cal@lphost if
you get no interesting output try lpq -L -Plj2g6cal on the LINUX box and lpr -D2
-Plj2g6cal@lphost this should give you an idea of what is happening...
regards
~Christoph
