[bcab] Re: help with printer installation on a network

David,

Yes, it should be LPR.

Perhaps a silly question, but have you "Shared" the printer?

Otherwise take a look at

Where Draytek go though the setup step by step.

Subject: [bcab] help with printer installation on a network

All:

I am trying to get my new lap top printing through my
network to the printer
server which is through my router.

Router: Draytek 2800G
Printer: hp lj1320nw

It works through my desk top machine, but when installing
through my lap
top, I am told that the printer cannot be found.

On installing a generic text only printer, no problem but I
note the port
settings to be raw.
On my desk top machine it is set to LPR.

The network is set up properly, and I can ping the correct
IP.

Any help welcomed?

David
