It didn't...a Win2k printer test page won't print via raw/port 9100. It times out. If I change the port config to [EMAIL PROTECTED], it prints right away. It will print if I point the raw/port 9100 to the lanier's IP, vice the lpd on samba1. I'm not worried about using %9100; I'm concerned about the long time it takes to spool the large jobs. I've read Rick Cochran's msg, but can't seem to find where I'd change the timeout on my OpenBSD box. Rick, if you see this, could you point me in the right direction? If it's on the Win2k clients (all SP4), let me know where the reg setting is.
