[SUMMARY] Hard limit on the maximum number of printers under Solaris 2.6?

Thank you to everyone who responded. There were three different suggestions:
1) Increase the number of open file descriptors.
2) Restart the print services
3) Check filesystem resources (inodes, etc)
The solution was a little bit surprising. A truss -f on lpadmin revealed the
culprit to be a file in /etc called .name_service_door. It turns out this
file is created by nscd (the name service caching daemon) and is a special
file. I restarted nscd and the problem cleared up. Thanks again for all your
help.
Regards,
Jared
