I don't know what the previous solution was, but this is one:

  - modify your script in /usr/spool/lp/interface as follows:

      {
      (current contents of script)
      } | remsh <cnode name> /usr/spool/lp/interface/<cnode name>.aux

  - add a script named <cnode name>.aux in /usr/spool/lp/interface:

      #!/bin/sh
      # An auxiliary script to do remote spooling on diskless client
      # as found in HP-UX 7.0 Supplement to the Technical Exchange
      # Use Bourne shell to avoid any job control anomalies with background jobs
      sleep 999999 > /dev/printer&
      stty raw 9600 -parenb cs8 ixon -istrip clocal < /dev/printer
      cat - > /dev/printer
      kill $!

    (sleep and stty to be setup as wanted)

  - device as known by the lp spooler must be /dev/null


This solution works fine in our clustered environment.

Best regards,
