We are in the process of converting our servers from 4.3.3 to 5.1. I
set up the print queues for on server that was converted, then tried
to copy the /etc/qconfig file over to other servers that I am
converting. Never works. I can do an lpstat, and it shows all my
queues up and running. However, if I try to print to one the job
never prints. Should this process work? Or do I have to go thru a
setup process for all print queues for each server?

/etc/qconfig is one part of what you need to copy over. You will also need
the files from:

/var/spool/lpd/pio/@local/custom
/var/spool/lpd/pio/@local/dev

After you move everything over - you would still need to rebuild the smit
screens if you want to use smit to modify attributes of the queues you move
over:

cd /var/spool/lpd/pio/@local/custom
for QUEUE in `ls`
do
/usr/lib/lpd/pio/etc/piodigest $QUEUE
done
