Well for starters when printing with lpr you may need to specify the 'queue' name to print to. HP uses raw, raw1, raw2, raw3, text, text1, text2, text3, TEXT, TEXT1, TEXT2, TEXT3, RAW, RAW1, RAW2 RAW3, auto, auto1, auto2, auto3 binps and d1prn depending on the model and the interface.
Don't know what kind if any firewalling you have internal but lpd uses port 515 where a lot of PJL/PCL printers use 9100 On Fri, Sep 16, 2011 at 6:40 AM, Rich Shepard <[email protected]>wrote: > Eventually, but not today, I'd like to understand why lpr works with the > LaserJet 5 but not with the Color LaserJet 2550L.
