AIX LPR OPTIONS (?)

We are trying to print from an AIX system to an HPUX
system. The file names that end up in the HP spool
directory are mysteriously truncated. For example,
the spool control file should have a name like
"XXXxxxozone.atmos.uiuc.edu". Instead it has a name like
"XXXxxxozon".
Since this behavior does not occur when remote printing is
done from a Sun, I tend to think the IBM is at fault.
Does anyone know how or where to change the parameters
that the IBM passes to a remote printer which end up
in the remote spool file? (say that three times fast)
Thanks in advance,
