The coworker, who does the Apple-things here is off to Switzerland for skiing (that's where Apple-users go) and should be back next week. There is nothing to do on the LPRng side to accomodate printing from OSX. Did you try tcpdump (or some equivalent) to trace the packets coming and going on your server?

Re: LPRng: Printing from non UNIX clients possible?
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.

Re: LPRng: Printing from non UNIX clients possible?
We, as well, have a number of Win2K Pro boxes that print directly to printers.egr.unlv.edu using the LPR services. It works nicely. --- Keith Rinaldo Systems Administrator College of Engineering University of Nevada, Las Vegas Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Original Message - From: Andrew Morgan [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, January 07, 2002 2:06 PM Subject: Re: LPRng: Printing from non UNIX clients possible? I believe he was referring to direct LPR-style connections from non-unix systems, not connections through a program like Samba. We use both styles here. The majority of our printing is done through Samba and Netatalk, but we do have several Windows 2000 Terminal Servers which print directly to port 515 on our LPRng print server.

What's the problem? samba and CAP are the Windows/Mac entry point and the UNIX clients use lpr. On Mon, 7 Jan 2002, David L. R.

I am beginning to believe that I missed the boat completely and that this simply is not possible using this product. Nothing works except host based requests (which do work quite well). Any success stories appreciated before I put this whole project to sleep...
