There are two problems that are probably showing up here.  First,
the HPUX system must be converted to long filenames, otherwise
the control filename will be truncated to 14 chars.  (I do not
understand why yours seems to be truncated at 10 chars).  At a
minimum, the disk containing /usr/spool/lp must be converted to
long filenames.  Second, there are several problems showing up
with the 7.0 HPUX spooler when used in conjuction with either 
named or ypserv.  These are being looked into at the present time.

After re-reading the basenote, I have a question about the request
control file.  Would you please add a long listing (ls -l) of 
/usr/spool/lp/request/lp on the HPUX system?  There is a problem
with user "lp" submitting requests which result in the error
"lpsched: Unable to open and lock request . . . ".  But I have
not seen it happen remotely.  If your control file appears owned by
root instead of lp, then there is a third problem--this one on
the HP system.
