> 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

Your NT system is sending jobs to the wrong queue. You most
likely have a problem with 'case' or something.
You are on the right track with the debugging, try:
lpd -F -Dnetwork+2
This will show the network traffic and you can see the actual
things sent.
At one point I used to log the 'bad queue' error but some enterprising
hackers discovered it made an excellent DOS attack method.
