W2K3 TCP/IP Print Server Rejects Request (LPR/LPD)

We have an AS/400 that is currently printing to a Windows 2000 box using a
remote outq. It basically sends an LPR request to a printer share on the
windows 2000 box. This works fine.

I am trying to set up a second print server, this time using Windows 2003.
I change what IP address the AS/400 is sending the print to and have the
printers and shares the same but the Windows 2003 box rejects the request. A
look at the event log gives this information for each attempt to print:

The description for Event ID ( 4008 ) in Source ( LPDSVC ) cannot be found.
The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message
DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. You may be able to use
the /AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this description; see Help and Support for
details. The following information is part of the event:
\\192.168.210.146\test, 192.168.3.1.

I have verified share case matching.

I also did a network monitor and you can see the LPR "Client's command to
Daemon" request, looking at it you see the LPR command to "Receive a printer
job" and the correct pritner queue name.

The server sends is response back "Acknowledgement from Daemon: negative".
To me it is obviously rejecting the request but I can not figure out why.

Ideas?

JOe,

I am having the exact same problem and its driving me crazy!! I have found
that if you use the lpq utility you will find that there are no queues. i.e.
I shared a HP Laserjet with a share name of HPLaserJ. When you use the lpq
utility it doesn't find the queue. Yet when i set up using the exact same
method on a 2k box it works. i have been scouring the net for days looking
for a solution for this and I cannot beleive that other people are not
experiencing the same problem. I have even re-installed 2k3 on the server to
make sure it wasn't a dodgy install. If you find a solution please email me
as I will you.

Regards
