Tried to make enable and accept  jobs at queue level but it does not help.

[root@pdavp25:/.root]#

#-> enable ETHUSSOPO1116

enable: printer "ETHUSSOPO1116" was already enabled

[root@pdavp25:/.root]#

#-> accept ETHUSSOPO1116

accept: destination "ETHUSSOPO1116" was already accepting requests

[root@pdavp25:/.root]#

Resolution:

When port connection for remote at 515 is check it is not connecting . This mean window print server is not running the lpd service. Ask Window admin to refresh the lpd services at print server.
