Printing on Solaris

Question

I have set up a network IPP printer on Solaris 10, but when I send a printing job to the queue, I received failed to commit job (2-0): queue disabled error, any idea why?

# lpstat -t
scheduler is running
no system default destination
device for printer: ipp://172.16.138.20/printers/DA1D9C
printer not accepting requests since October 13, 2016 12:04:37 AM PDT
        new destination
printer printer is idle. enabled since October 13, 2016 12:14:51 AM PDT. available.
# lp -d printer localhost.err
printer: failed to commit job (2-0): queue disabled

On the print client, stop further queuing of print requests to the print server.

 # reject printer-name

On the print client, send an “are you there?” request to the print server.

 print-client# ping print-server
 print-server is alive.

If you receive the message print-server not available, you might have a network problem.

After you fix the above problem, allow new print requests to be queued.

 # accept printer-name

If necessary, re-enable the printer.

 # enable printer-name

Thanks, that fixed the problem of committing jobs to the queue. – Eddy Yuansheng Wu Oct 13 '16 at 10:13
Now I use lp to send print jobs and it shows "request id is printer-name-6 (1 file(s)) – Eddy Yuansheng Wu Oct 13 '16 at 10:14
But the printing is not carried out, any idea why? I am able to ping the server IP, so it's not a network issue. – Eddy Yuansheng Wu Oct 13 '16 at 10:15
Do I have to install the printer driver on the server first? – Eddy Yuansheng Wu Oct 13 '16 at 10:42
