Troubleshooting Steps

Problems with remote printing and reserved ports can occur for following reasons:

local printqueue WITHOUT interfacescript

other processes have used up the reserved_ports

mis-configured networked printers

Printing in non-global zone fails after zoneadm -z attach -u (Solaris 10 9/10 U9 and later)
