I did setip LDP - opened port 515 on the firewall to the server.<br />
Made the queue name simple (one word all caps)<br />
Mnually set the port to LPD <br />
Everything seems to be working great!

I have a USB printer on a 2008R2 server.<br />
<br />
I want to be able to print to it from a remote 2008 server (accounting software in another office).<br />
<br />
The software on the other end is quite fussy about changes - so I need to be able to print to a port directly by IP address.<br />
<br />
I'm thinking LPD woudl work for that - I've never used IPP - but looks like a lot of overhead.<br />
<br />
for either I'll have to open ports on the very basic firewall, so I want to keep them to a Min.<br />
<br />
Looking for idea or options to get this done simple and easy.

The Internet Protocol (IP) is the principal communications protocol in the Internet protocol suite for relaying datagrams across network boundaries, organized in abstraction layers, traditionally called "Link," "Internet," "Transport" and "Application”. Its routing function enables internetworking, and essentially establishes the Internet. IP defines packet structures that encapsulate the data to be delivered. It also defines addressing methods that are used to label the datagram with source and destination information.
