My original question follows:

> configured in Solaris 2.6? If so, is there any way to adjust it?

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
