Re: LPR Problems

Are you using a Standard TCP/IP Port or did you install Print Services for
Unix and setup an LPR Port to the device? If you are just using the lpr.exe
command line utility, you will need to edit the lpr registry keys as you did
in previous OS versions
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/179156/EN-US/

lpr.exe and lprmon.dll by default use the source socket ports of 721- 731
for outgoing data. The tcp/ip protocol does not allow reuse of the ports
until a timeout (default is 180 seconds) has been reached. When you send
many small jobs in less than 3 minutes, you will blocked until the tcp/ip
protocol timeout is reached. There is a regkey for this to but it pertains
to all tcp/ip connectivity not only printing.
