DeliveryManager API to ipp printer returns Status of 11 ('Internal error')

Question

Here's my Java code, based on the sample:
// create delivery manager instance
DeliveryManager dm;
// create a delivery request
try {
dm = new DeliveryManager();
} catch (InvalidFactoryException e) {
// TODO
System.out.println("Unable to create delivery manager: Exception: " + e.getMessage());
return;
DeliveryRequest req;
// set email subject
try {
req = dm.createRequest(DeliveryManager.TYPE_IPP_PRINTER);
} catch (UndefinedRequestTypeException e) {
// TODO
System.out.println("Unable to create delivery request: Exception: " + e.getMessage());
return;
// set IPP host
req.addProperty(DeliveryPropertyDefinitions.IPP_HOST, "dfw111ssun012");
// default IPP port
req.addProperty(DeliveryPropertyDefinitions.IPP_PORT, "631");
req.addProperty(DeliveryPropertyDefinitions.IPP_USE_FULL_URL, "true");
req.addProperty(DeliveryPropertyDefinitions.IPP_USE_CHUNKED_BODY, "true");
// printer name
req.addProperty(DeliveryPropertyDefinitions.IPP_PRINTER_NAME, "/printers/rightfax/.printer");
// authentication
req.addProperty(DeliveryPropertyDefinitions.IPP_AUTHTYPE, "IPP_AUTHTYPE_NONE");
// req.addProperty(DeliveryPropertyDefinitions.IPP_AUTHTYPE, "IPP_AUTHTYPE_DIGEST");
// req.addProperty(DeliveryPropertyDefinitions.IPP_USERNAME, "svc-rightfax.dfw");
// req.addProperty(DeliveryPropertyDefinitions.IPP_PASSWORD, "Dresser.RF");
req.addProperty(DeliveryPropertyDefinitions.IPP_DOCUMENT_FORMAT, "IPP_DOCUMENT_FORMAT_PLAINTEXT");
// set the document to deliver
try {
String filestr = "/tmp/instructions.txt";
File filename = new File(filestr);
if (filename.exists()) {
filestr = filename.getAbsoluteFile().toString();
} else {
System.out.println("Unable to find file: " + filestr);
return;
req.setDocument(filestr);
} catch (DeliveryException e) {
// TODO
System.out.println("Unable to set document: Exception: " + e.getMessage());
// submit the request
try {
req.submit();
} catch (DeliveryException e) {
// TODO
System.out.println("Unable to submit request: Exception: " + e.getMessage());
int i = req.getStatus();
String s12 = req.getStatusMessage();
System.out.println("Status is " + i + " Status Message is "+ s12);
// close the request
req.close();
i = req.getStatus();
s12 = req.getStatusMessage();
System.out.println("Status is " + i + " Status Message is "+ s12);
The printer 'rightfax' works fine and is configured correctly - I'm able to print to it from the command line using the ipp interface.
There are no firewall issues - I'm running this java code on the same box as the ipp implementation (which is Solaris IPP).
Any help is greatly appreciated...
