Windows 2000 supports LPR and after much experience with printing through Windows servers from UNIX boxen I would strongly recommend that you just go into the Windows 2K network settings and add LPR rather than attempting to mess with the IPP. As I recall the IPP was developed because LPR has little security on it, and when you set up a printer to allow jobs from the Internet you don't want every practical joker and their dog sending 2000 page print jobs to your printer so as to exhaust all the paper in it. But LPR will work better for what you want to do, and there's an entire chapter on it here: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/corp-net-guide/index.html Ted Mittelstaedt tedm@toybox.placo.com Author of: The FreeBSD Corporate Networker's Guide Book website: http://www.freebsd-corp-net-guide.com >-----Original Message----- >From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG >[mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Howard Picken >Sent: Sunday, July 22, 2001 4:10 PM >To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.
