"lp" command in RHEL 7 may not be able to print to a RHEL 3 CUPS server

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

We are trying to print from a RHEL 7 (CUPS 1.6.3) client directly to a RHEL 3 (CUPS 1.1.37) server using a command like the following:

#  lp -d laser file.pdf  -h 10.1.2.3
lp: successful-ok

The return message shows "successful-ok", but there is no information on the request id, like "request id is laser-10 (1 file(s))" The print job is printed by the printer.

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 7 client with RHEL 3 server
  • Common Unix Printing System (CUPS) 1.6.3 client with CUPS 1.1.37 server
