The description in this section is not lpd. If it were using lpd you wouldn't use lp=, you'd use rp= and rm=. lp= could be left blank. If I read the filter correctly, a device (ie lp=) would be unneccessary, or at least inconsequential. Since the filter would pump it out the network to the tcp/ip port on the printer. -- Paul T.
