Hello all,

I am having a problem setting win2K to print directly to LPRng (not
through Samba). I have an LPRng lpd server (3.6.24) running on a
Solaris 8 box. The lpd server runs great and is being used in
production (by both local lpr and remote lpr). I configured a new
printer on a win2k pro. box, and setup an LPR port as the printer's
port. When I try to send a test page, I get an error dialog
box 'There was an error encountered when printing the
document "Testpage"'. On the server side there are no changes.
Setting up debug level 2 on the queue does not show any activity on
the queue sub-process. Starting lpd with debug shows that the win2k
box actually connects and selects the right print queue, but nothing
more. Snooping the network shows that the lpd server returns
an "insufficient file space" error packet back to the win2k box.
Obviously, there are no space issues involved. I have also tried it
with LPRng 3.6.19 on HPUX 10.20 - same results. If I stop the lpd and
start the Solaris print service, the job is accepted. Anyone had any
experiance in setting direct TCP/IP printing with LPRng? I'll
appreciate any feedback on what can go wrong here.
