Thank you for your kind advice, Brian.
I tried what you told me to do.

$ LANG=C lpstat -tl
scheduler is running
system default destination: IPSiO_NX730N
device for IPSiO_Color_8100: socket://192.168.0.22:9100

$ ls | lpr
# Sorry, it seems that I execute this command three times...

$ LANG=C lpstat -tl

IPSiO_NX730N-836        fujihara         47104   Thu Nov 13 07:48:17 2008
IPSiO_NX730N-837        fujihara         47104   Thu Nov 13 07:48:24 2008
IPSiO_NX730N-838        fujihara         47104   Thu Nov 13 07:48:28 2008
$

I think that's all done. But, my printers still couldn't work.
What do you think I should do next for solving this problem?
