See original problem at bottom. In short I was having trouble with building
a couple of NIS maps. Printers.conf is used by the Sun Soft Print Client
installed on my Solaris 2.5.1 systems. The services map did not want to
build either but it turned out that that was bombing while trying to push
one of the maps that did not exist. I commented out that line in the
Makefile and it was fine.
Using the suggestions below I double checked all the tabs in the
printers.conf code for building. It appeared ok but still would not work.
So I resorted to copying and pasting from the Makefile on the SunOS server
into the new Makefile. That worked.
Thanks for all your help.
Lisa
******************************************
However, Solaris 7 and 2.6 both supply a good start for the
printers.conf map in /usr/lib/print/Makefile.yp. Maybe you'll
have better results if you start with that. I did, modified it
extensively to get the printers.conf info from our two redundant
print servers (not the NIS master), change the backup queues for
the purposes of the NIS map to have a prepended "S" (for
secondary), and it all works great. The cutest part is that our
NIS master is a 2.5.1 server. Happily most of our clients are 2.6
or 7, but I had to make a script for our 2.5 and 2.5.1 systems to
update print queues, based upon printers.conf.byname contents, to
point to the print servers.
On the other hand, maybe your problem is simply lack of a leading
tab on one of your rule's lines.

Hy...
I have this problem Three days ago...I have resolved it by verifying that thaer was no space but TAB in the /var/yp/Makefile
do a vi /var/yp/Makefile do a :set list
and verify that you only have "^I" and no " " (blank space)
/var/yp/Makefile is very strict with tab
If doesn t help, i can send you a sample of my Makefile
