Hi, Greg, I use an Intel NetportExpress 10/100 print server, so maybe I can help you. I am not familiar with the Barricade router, but have seen such devices advertised locally and on the Web. My print server can be statically addressed or get its IP through a DHCP server through a local LAN. Since yours is also a touter, I suspect that you must statically address your router? Whatever that IP address is (say 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1, etc.), you can either use that IP as the name of your LPD server, or if your router allows such, give a name to the device (mine's 'gateway'). If you name it, and you are not using local DHCP, WINS support through Samba-winbind, you will need to enter its IP and name in 'hosts' to be sure that it gets resolved. Check with your manual to see if there is a 'queue' name for the LPT port on the router. You will need this, as well. So, here's how I would set-up my printers using my device under and LPD/UNIX print server in Linux: Queue Name: eps1550 (I have an Epson ActionLaser 1500...old timer) Queue Type Server: print (I could have used its static IP - 192.168.1.51) Queue: lpt1_passthru (I have two LPT ports and one serial. lpt1_passthru, lpt2_pathru, etc.) Then select your appropriate driver for the printer. The set-up is similar under all distros. Does this help any? T
