Hello.
Many thanks for your responses. The solution was to change the
line
:rp=lp:\
to
:rp=hp:\
because the printers name is hp and of course there was a bug
in the second line ( :lp=.:\ ). It must be :lp=:\.

Here is my original question:

/---------- original ----------/
Hello Managers.
I hope this will be not a FAQ but i don't know how i can
set up a Sunos4.1.3 print client on Solaris5.3 print server.

This is my /etc/printcap file

hp|lp|RuggedWriter:\
        :lp=.:\
        :sf:sb:\
        :of=/usr/local/lib/lpr/hp1:\
        :sd=/var/spool/hp:rm=othello:\
        :rp=lp:\
        :lf=/var/spool/hp/hp.log:tr=\f:
        :pw#80:\
     
After a lpr -Php ... command and lpq shows

server: lpd: lp: unknown printer
client: waiting for queue to be enabled on server

What can i do?
Thanks in advance and i will summarize
/---------- end original ----------/
