How it the printer setup? Is it via a client access session, LAN? When doing a DSPDEVD what is the Manufacturer type and model setting?
Is the IP address correct? What is the System driver program setting?

Printer is a network printer attached via the LAN.
MFRTYPMDL : *LEXOPTRAT
SYSDRVPGM: *HPPJLDRV
WSCST: *NONE
All other PC's in the network are using the same IP address and having no problem printing.

Hmm strange you are using *LEXOPTRAT for an HP printer.
We have ours set to *IBM4317. I think this may be the issue. Are there other HP printers on your system defined with the *LEXOPTRAT?

Tried *IBM4317 but still does not print (pending status)
IBM printer guide N1019534 (pg. 21) shows:
Printer Data Stream: HP PCL3 enhanced (PCL3e)
                                  host based - Y
                                   PDT file - N/A
                                   MFRTYPMDL for HPT -*LEXOPTRAT
                                                                          *HP520
                                   LPR-N PJL-N SNMP-N    IPP-N

Let me ask our network people. I'm not sure what else to try at this point. The only other thing I can think of, does it have a unique IP address? I have set a bunch of printers up as Client Access not too many network printers.

Many HP printers are attached to our IBM i on our WAN. We have never had success with printers where all the options are N (LPR, PJL, SNMP, IPP). It might work as a PC-attached printer running a Client Access print session.

The following is from IBM's user guide for HP printers:
"The LPR column shows whether a Remote Output Queue or the Send TCP/IP Spooled File ( SNDTCPSPLF or LPR) command can be used to print to this printer when directly connected to the LAN. "
