Re: Shared Printers

Hi Sharon,


I have Win XP sp2 w/firewall and the LPD Service works OK with an iSeries host 
remote output queue.

Make sure the Microsoft TCP/IP Printing Service is actually started (Control 
Panel - Administrative Tools - Services). By default, it is installed as being 
started manually and the service is therefore not running when you boot your PC.

You only need to allow connections on port 515 to support LPR clients so there 
is no need to disable the firewall completely.

Make sure the iSeries remote queue name matches the Windows printer driver 
name. To preserve case, enclose the iSeries information in that parameter with 
single quotes.

HTH

Best Regards,

/Paul
