Everything seems to be fine, but when I try and print a test page I get the message: Could not connect printer to LPR Port I set the printer up on another computer and I also kept getting this error, but it suddenly started working. On the PC I am trying to setup at the moment I have checked that the printer driver settings (port name, IP, Protocol etc are all the same as the PC it works on and I keep getting that LPR port message? Some Info: Port Name: PS-B4B8F4 Printer IP: 172.30.***.220 Protocol: LPR (tried Raw and same thing) LPR Settings - Queue Name: PS-B4B8F4 LPR Byte Counting Enabled I have tried an old Epson 900 printer using the print server and that works great. Any ideas?

The frustrating thing is that I know this works

Is this what should be tested? Port 9100 for "Standard TCP/IPport monitor" (RAW)"I don't think it is about SMB / RPC ports as the network printer is not aWindows OS. Am I wrong in saying so?Thanks and sorry for my ignorance.mixty Share Flag This conversation
