Can you telnet to port TCP:515 from Linux? (I think that is the port LPD
listens on)

The Standard TCP Printing driver with W2K prints to port 9100 by default
(SPM Printing)

Do you have to enable LPR/LPD support with the Laserjet/Jetdirect?
First?

I am trying to print directly to a HP Laserjet 2100N using lpr/lpd but
it is not working. The frustrating thing is that it works fine from a
Win2K box using lpr. Any ideas would be much appreciated.

This is my /etc/printcap

lp|HPLJ2100:\
:rm=192.168.69.39:\
:rp=raw:\
:lf=/var/log/lp-errs:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:

and when I try to print I get this:

# lpr -Plp bla.txt
lpr: connect: Connection refused
jobs queued, but cannot start daemon.

# lpq
waiting for lp to become ready (offline ?)
