Assuming you are refering to HP-UX (not Domain):  Don't you mean that
this DOES work when the 400 is configured for long filenames?  If not
please include an ll of /usr/spool/lp/request/<printername> and a
cat of the control file listed (cfAXXXX<hostname> file).

This same problem on occurs on the 800 under HP-UX 7.0 - we fixed it here
by applying a patch from HP that fixes a similar problem some people have
been having with PC's running  FTP Software's PC/TCP.

I dont think this has anything to do with short versus long filenames.
Contact me or Kimmo.Suominen@lut.fi (who pointed this out to us) via mail 
for details.
