Hi jeremy,
 
But we're talking about real print servers here, eg Windows 2000 Server with a 
bunch of network attached printers/print queues. If lpd is enabled eg on 
Windows XP its print services for unix, then the Windows server will act as an 
lpd print host, print queues having the same name as the NT print queues.
 
regards,

Andrew,

The Queue name for the LPR port will depend on the print device. Read the
doco for the device.

For example: Say you are printing to a device with multiple parallel ports.
The queue name for the printer connected to the first parallel port could
be ltp1 or port1, etc.

What is the device?

Cheers,
Jeremy.

Hmm.. I've figured you out so far (Create a local printer, new port,
TCPIP, not generic card-> Custom-> Select LPR!) but the print jobs
appear to be going into thin air - is the printer queue just
"printer1" or is it something like "server1\printer1" ?
