You have created a port xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx on w2k3 with a queue name of HPlaserJ ? make sure cupsd is not running. the above lpq tells me there is no lpd running on your FBSD box, that needs to be started. echo lpd_enable='"YES"' >> /etc/rc.conf for startup on reboot /usr/local/sbin/lpc to view the status of printers and stop/start the lpd. If this is a HP laserjet you will have little difficulty getting things to work. davehelp
