I have a NewGen printer that has a network port. I have configured the printer with an IP address and the correct netmask for my network. I can ping the printer and it responds. Unfortunately, I don't belive that the printer supports 'lpd' style printing, at least I cannot find any where in the menu to configure queues, etc. In the FreeBSD handbook is a perl script that can be used to do network printing, but it requires a port number to use. Does anyone know if there is a standard port that I can use to print to or any way of determining the port to print to. I have used Brian Somers program 'tcpchat' to try and telnet to every port from 1 to 32000, but got no response from any port. The printer works fantastically via the parallel port. I cannot get any information from the company as they have been bought out and and no longer sell printers. I have tried emailing them with no response and of course I got no documentation with the printer. Much thanks.
