Hi,

Hoping this might be straightforward to fix ...

Issue
I'm using CUPS on Solaris 10 branded zone.
I've sent a print request to a CUPS printer.
The request 'hangs' on the Solaris server
# lpstat -o 38214L
38214L-80               root              1024   22 June 2017 17:06:53 BST
When I look in CUPS admin the printer state is ...
Processing since date-time "The printer is busy"
Clearly the printer is telling me to 'wait a while cos I'm preoccupied with 
something'
But I can't find any evidence to say the printer is actually busy.

CUPS Printer setup
Name:                  38214L
Driver:                  Local Raw Printer
Connection:       http://<remote-server>/38214L
<remote-server> is Windows 2012 R2 server and has printer 38214L installed as a 
local printer
<remote-server> appears in /etc/hosts on the Solaris 10 server where CUPS is 
installed, and is pingable from here

Recent changes
Originally <remote-server> in the above setup was another Solaris 10 server.
Printing worked fine.
Recently I changed the <remote-server>. It is now a Windows 2012 R2 server.
It is only since this change that the 'printer busy' state has occurred.


Any ideas on how to fix would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
Keith
