Actually I found it. It appears that 515 is for LPD printing and 9100 is
for TCP.

I think it's 515 but I haven't checked.

What ports does it use?

We use standard TCP/IP printing for ours, rather
than Windows printing. JetDirect units will act as TCP/IP print servers
and getting print jobs through to them is just about as easy as such
things can be, even through firewalls.

Sounds like a great idea but, I don't
think that I can route the printing correctly. My connection from the
remote offices varies from location to location and some are going over
the internet. They are firewalled on each side and I don't know how I
could make that happen.

Couldn't you put JetDirect units in the
printers, move one of the remote servers to your central location and
use that as a general purpose NT print server? I find printing to be
much more manageable that way.

I was hoping to eliminate the server at
each remote location.

We have a number of remote printers with
JetDirect units but all our print queues are on a local print server,
with print jobs being spooled on from there. Our setup uses a custom app
to generate the print queues but you could achieve what you want using
the CON2PRT utility. Your login script (Kix would make it easy) could
run CON2PRT depending on the client machine name or NT group memberships
to make connections to shared queues on the NT print server.

Subject: [THIN] Windows 2000 TS printer
mapping
Hello all! I have lurking here for quite
a while and woudl like to start by saying I have really learned a lot
from all of you. Thank you for that.
I am relative newbie to Terminal
Services and have made some promises I am having trouble delivering on.
My greatest stumbling block is remote printing. I have a client that I
am configuring this TS for and he has remote offices of 10 or so users
that will be connecting over a WAN. I have 1 workgroup printer in each
office and a couple of users will have local printers. My original
thinking was to have the workgroup printer connected via Jet Direct in
the remote office but this can change if necessary.
Currently each remote office has a
"server" that has the printer connected via LPT1 and is shared. The
other system are printing to that shared printer. If I connect to the TS
the printer gets created correctly and prints in this configuration. I
tried connecting the printer to a Jet Direct box and connect to the TS
the printer does not get created.
What is the best way for me to
accomplish this? Can you point me to some documentation that may assist
me?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
