Print Manager fails to load using 'rcnovell-ipsmd start'

When using the rcnovell-ipsmd start command from server console, the Print Manager (ipsmd) loads for a few second and then unloads.
Using iManager to start ipsmd works fine. The Print Manager loads with no errors.

The Driver Store (idsd) follows the same pattern.

Set the nds variable path correctly using this command as root (no sudo):

. /opt/novell/eDirectory/bin/ndspath

Notice the dot, space, and then /opt/novell/eDirectory/bin/ndspath

nds path for root was wrong after server upgrade.

The /var/opt/novell/log/iprint/ipsmd.log shows the following:

Also, the following ldapconfig command -

Syntax:
ldapconfig get -p localhost -a admin.[ORGANIZATION]

Example:
ldapconfig get -p localhost -a admin.mycompany

- returns the following error:
