.The LPR port is best suited to servers that need to communicate with host computers such as UNIX or VAX machines by
way of RFC 1179.
.For computers that need to submit print jobs to host computers, the standard TCP/IP port (see above) should be used in
most cases.
.The LPR port only allows limited printer status to be reported to the Host. A generic error condition is reported when
something goes wrong like a paper jam or paper out.
Installing a Standard TCP/IP port using simplified LPR protocol on Windows 2000.
1. Open the Control Panel through the Start Menu and open Printers.
2. Double click Add Printer.
3. Click Next.
4. Select Local printer, clear the Automatically detect my printer check box, and then click
Next.
5. Select Create a new port.
6. Choose Standard TCP/IP Port from the "Type" drop down menu. You may have to scroll all
the way down to the bottom.
7: Click Next.
8: Enter the IP address of the printer into the Printer Name or IP Address field (ex. 10.0.0.192).
The Port Name is filled in automatically. You may change it if you wish.
9: Enter the name you wish to call the printer in the Port Name field (ex. BOCA).
10. Click Next and wait for a bit.
11. Set Device Type to Custom and click Settings.
12. Set Protocol to LPR.
13. Enter the name you wish to call the printer in the Queue Name field.
14. Check the LPR Byte Counting Enabled check box.
15. Leave SNMP Status Enabled unchecked.
16. Click OK, then click Next, then click Finish and wait a bit.
17. Choose Boca-> appropriate dpi version and click Next. Choose HP -> HP laserJet llP Plus if using a PCL4 BOCA
printer.
18. If it tells you the driver is already installed, keep existing driver and just click Next.
19. Enter the name you wish to call the printer in the Printer Name field (ex. lprprinter).
Decide if you want it as your default printer.
20. Click Next.
21. Decide if you want to share the printer - if so, give it a 'share' name (ex. lprprint).
22. Click Next.
23. Give it a location/comment description if desired.
24. Click Next.
25. Select No or Yes for Do you want to print a test page?
26. Click Next and then click Finish.
27. If you elected to print a test page it should print after clicking Finish.
Notes:
The simplified LPR protocol differs from an RFC 1179 compliant LPR port in that it only supports the printer
implementations of LPR. A machine running an LPD service (like a UNIX box) cannot be designated as the
destination. Only LPD capable printers can be the destination for print jobs. The simplified LPR protocol can
use non-RFC source port addresses (other than 721-731). Simplified LPR also allows for disabling of byte
counting which is always on with an RFC-compliant LPR port.
