[Sunhelp] Network Printer Configuration

Hello all,

I'm running Solaris 7 on an Intel-based
machine.

I have an HP Laserjet 5M printer ( with
a 400n JetDirect card in the printer ).

After attempting to configure my
Solaris machine to use the HP printer,
as a network printer, I botched the
configuration, and now I'm trying to
unravel the mess I've made.

When I execute the 'lpstat -t' command,
I get the following error message output:
========================
scheduler is running
no system default destination
UX:lpstat: ERROR: The LP print service isn't running or can't be
                  reached.
          TO FIX: Your request can't be completely handled
                  without the LP print service. If this
                  problem continues, get help from your
                  system administrator.
=========================

Anybody seen this situation before?
If so, how can I go about cleaning up
my mess, so that I don't see the error
output?

Thanks to everyone who takes the time
to read and respond to my question.
