mklanprt fails with 0514-520 error

Question:

configuring a network card in virtual printer/mklanprt

Response:

DESC:
 Customer is adding a 4039 network printer on 3.2.5 machine with accelerator
 card.  Customer had it working when on an ehternet card at local site.  He
 now is getting the error:
 0514-520: cannot find information in predefined device configuration 
 database ...

Response:

Error message 0514-520 is in the cmdcfg.cat
2 : 20 %s: 0514-520 Cannot find information in the predefined device
and not in lpa.cat, so it is an AIX system message.

This looks as if it comes from the mkdev in the mklanprt script.
mklanprt:               mkdev -c dlc -s dlc -t "$DEV_TYPE"
mklanprt:               mkdev -l "$DLC_TYPE"

mklanprt - en0,
type = 'ieee_ether' AND subclass = 'dlc' AND class = 'dlc'
odmget -q "type=IEEE_ether" -> nothing available
lslpp -h | grep dlc -> showed now dlc8023 available.  

What does this command give.
lsdev -Cc dlc
returns nothing.  
lsdev -Cc adapter -> ent0
The shell script says if network type begins ent* then the
DEV_TYPE='IEEE_ethernet', DLC_TYPE='dlc8023'
Since he is missing this, we will install from his tape.

NEXT:  Customer is going to load software tonight, and wants a call
back at 8:00 AM.

Response:
After installing the dlc8023 support, from the install tape,
customer was able to add a virtual printer  and now it says READY.
Tried to print and it Printed.  

NEXT: CLose, Problem solved
