Re: Printing from a UNIX system using a LPR Port

make sure that TCP port 515 is opened if a firewall is enabled. Also the
service is set to manual start on XP. If you always want the service
running change the start mode to automatic in services in computer
management.

This should work for any local printer as long as the data is properly
formatted on the UNIX machine. In the past UNIX sends text or raw
postscript to the device.

What printer models do you have and what drivers are you using?
