Adding remote printer to non-global zone

KMcGregorJun 6 2013 — edited Jun 7 2013

I have a non-global zone with a remote printer defined, and lpstat shows
# lpstat -lp abcdef
printer abcdef disabled since Thu Jun 06 13:18:43 2013. available.

Remote Name: abcdef
Remote Server: 192.168.x.x

On another non-global zone I want to print to the same printer. I referred to the Solaris Printing SAG, and I thought all I had to do is
lpadmin -p abcdef -s abcdefserver

but lpstat -lp abcdef gives
Failed to get printer info for abcdef: not-found

The zone is
SunOS myzone 5.10 Generic_142909-17 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-V490

and the destination (abcdefserver) is a Windows server with the LPD service installed.

What else do I have to do? I can ping and telnet abcdefserver:515, so the network part seems to be fine.
