lpr adds the IP address and not the name.

Xp to HPUX LPR is fine
2000 to HPUX LPR is fine
NT to HPUX LPR is fine
2000 -> remote printer on 2000 -> hpux LPR is fine
Ditto for NT and NT to 2000 -> hpux LPR
BUT 2000 - > XP (or 2003) -> LPR appends the IP address
causing the queue on lpr to disable - the filename
in /requests is xxxxxx123.123.123.123 rather than
xxxxxcomputername. This appears to be seen as a security
issue and hpux disables the queue.

If the originating computer has a fixed IP address the
problem does not occur. If the originating computer gets
it's address from DHCP then the problem occurs.

Cool. This will have to wait over the weekend but I'll repro this then.

Did you have a chance to look at the problem?
I posted a little more detail in that client that uses the
remote printer is using dhcp. It's name never gets resolved
correctly using lpr and the filename therefore has the IP
address. All other software (eg nslookup etc) resolve
correctly.
Thanks for your effort
