Yes. I send jobs via LPR without a problem using the software that apparently comes with HP Printers. The printer port is referred to as "HP Standard TCP/IP Port". The only time this didn't work was with a Windows NT server accepting jobs from a lab and then forwarding them to LPRng -- the queue would often hang and the NT machine's queue status said "Restarting."
But, yes, for a lab of about 20 Windows PC's, maybe more, I am successfully using LPRng to recieve LPR spooled jobs in my university. ---- _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ |Y#| | | |\/| | \ |\ | | | Ryan Novosielski - Jr. UNIX Systems Admin |$&| |__| | | |__/ | \| _| | [EMAIL PROTECTED] - 973/972.0922 (2-0922) \__/ Univ. of Med. and Dent. | IST/ACS - New Jersey Medical School - C630 On Mon, 7 Jan 2002, David L.
