Hi Sun Managers,
Thanks to all of you that answer to my question, specially
to Pedro Roque, that point me the right way to solve the problem,
Solution:
1 - lpadmin -p <local_printer_name> -s <remote_system>!<remote_printer>
my <remote_printer> was "X29$PRINT", so the lpadmin strips out $PRINT
2 - edit the configuration file for the printer "/etc/lp/printers/<ocal_printer_name>/configuration", and change the entry "Remote:"
Ex:
Content types: simple
Printer type: unknown
Remote: <remote_system>!X29$PRINT
dont't forget to add the remote system to the "etc/lp/Systems" file.
after that , "lpstat -t " and the printer is prepared to work..
