In AIX 5.2, there is something called DACinet that stands for 'Discresionary Access Controlled Inet'. It allows you to set ACL's for network services between two AIX 5.2 systems. Beware, once this is turned on, you can't turn it off.

IN AIX 5.2, IBM introduced the SMBFS filesystem for this purpose. See:

Exactly when does the error message occur?
Did you select 'hpJetDirect' or 'ibmNetPrinter' or 'remote' printer?
What kind of printer are you trying to print to?
If it is an HP LaserJet 4000 and you have selected hpJetDirect, then you should not get the error.
Yes, a filter should work, see the above link, but also you need to make sure that the NT system is really accepting print jobs on that port. Try a telnet to the port and see if that can get anything printed. Also use iptrace to look at the traffic to see if the NT sends back any error...
This sounds like the network printer option is not installed. This is probably the JetDirect option whichmay or maynot be what you really want. Simply put in your AIX install CD's and install the printer filesets and you won't have this problem. Or you can install all of the printer package...
You need to understand the 'interface' script you are using for System V printing. Forget about using SMIT for System V, it does not work for System V. I suggest you start with the /usr/lib/hpnp/HpnpIS.model script and then you should be able to control this with 'lp -o landscape'.
See...
The first thing I would try is to use the HP JetDirect driver which defaults to ports 9100, 9101, etc. You may have to manually change the port in /etc/qconfig.
If that doesn't work, then you can use any of a number of print filters to do this. I used to download filters from the terminal...
I would start by using the hpnpIS.model script as it has most of the PCL commands and flags that you will need. See Section 4.2.2 in the Printint for Fun and Profit under AIX 5L. I'm still not sure I'd recommend the System V printing as the AIX print subsystem is more robust and has better...
The fact that you are getting the message as "connecting" means that you are probably setting the printer up as a JetDirect printer with piojetd as the backend. This by defaults trys to print to port 9100. Does your client support receiving jobs on this port, or does it expect...
You can set the max message size in /etc/sendmail.cf
# maximum message size
#O MaxMessageSize=1000000
Also you can set the minimum number of free blocks on the filesystem to a larger value and then sendmail will stop receiving more
# minimum number of free blocks on filesystem

Yes, your /var/spool/lpd/pio/@local/smit files are corrupted. This is usually fixed in later versions of AIX and you didn't say which one.
Here is a common scenario on this:
cd /var/spool/lpd/pio/@local/smit
ls -l file lengths are 0 (doesn't really matter)
cp /usr/lib/objrepos/sm*...
With AIX printing you can use the qprt -g 30 flag to start printing at page 30, but not to stop at that point. This only works for ASCII text files where the _d attribute = a for the virtual printer (not formatted PS or PCL)
The head command will only work if you have the same number of lines...
Are you printing from more than one place to the AXIS print server?
You might try setting the timeout larger (-T parameter)?
Does the queue go down with each print job, large print jobs, when two print jobs are sent close to one another?
The buffer on the AXIS may not be big enough and may be...
This normally happens when the route is out a second adapter. If this happens the filesize will be '11' bytes. Then use the -I en1 flag or whatever adapter you think the traffic may be on. Try 'netstat -i 5' to look for traffic pattern. You can also restrict to a certain host or port...
