A key difference in the prod and DR scenarios is the network path. And that looks to be about the only difference.
Therefore, a firewall would be my leading suspect. Firewall actions (or blocking) can be misinterpreted as reactions from the other host. Depending on the protocol, encryption can confuse firewalls and induce misbehavior. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:ibm-m...@bama.ua.edu] On Behalf Of Kurt Eastwood Sent: Wednesday, October 06, 2010 3:03 AM To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu Subject: LPR command to VISTA print server Hello, I would appreciate any help I can get from anyone on this issue. I am attempting to execute an LPR command from a DR machine to a print server and am receiving the following error in trace below. This LPR command works fine from the production machine. I cannot find any difference in the TCPIP setups of the two machines. I sent a packet trace to IBM and they said, based on the packet trace, that the print server software or print server hardware appears to be refusing the LPR command. I have been informed by VISTA print server software support that the print server software will not refuse a machine that can access it. I have also been told by the UNIX admin person that the VISTA print server that the VISTA print server software is running on does not have anything to refuse the DR machine from accessing it. Has anyone run into the problem I am having, based on the error messages? Any suggestions at all will be appreciated.
