lpd printing

Hank · Dec 29, 2003

In NT 4.0, I've setup several lpd print queues to
unix/linux servers successfully. However, in W2K...the
lpd queues I've setup result in jobs going to:

"Printing - Printer busy or error"

I've used the same settings in 2K as in 4.0 (i.e. LPR Byte
counting enabled...queue name...ip address...etc).

Help!

You need to install the LPR Port. Most Unix systems require the source port
to be 721-731 which is not the way that Standard Port submits data.
