It must be LPD then. I've never been entirely sure of the difference.
JetDirect units will work as LPD servers if you ask them nicely.

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.
