Thanks for the info what you said make perfect sense but when I try to bind both IP in lpd.conf it doesn't work as it should. First I tried: lpd_port=192.168.0.1%515 lpd_port=127.0.0.1%515 then: lpd_port=192.168.0.1%515,127.0.0.1@%515 then: lpd_port=192.168.0.1%515/127.0.0.1@%515 and probably ever other seperator I could think of. How would I write both of these IP's into the lpd.conf so it works the way it should.
