Any > help with this will be greatly aprreciated I have managed to get the KA9Q-based LPD to work, but only using LPR applications from a DECstation and FTP Incs LPR client. The LPR clients with CUTCP (latest ver (2.3?) and 2.2D), NCSA and Waterloo TCP packages don't want to talk turkey. I've tried tracing the packets with an analyzer, but I can't detect any significant differences, and I'm not too familiar with the internals of the LPR protocol anyway. All of these were tested using a postscript file printing to a HP LaserJet II w/ postscript cartridge - the exact same file in all cases. Has anyone got the KA9Q LPD to print using the LPR that comes from any freeware package?
