RE: Printing to a Windows Print Server using IPP

No firewall AFAIK, I'll double check that.

We don't see anything listening on 631.  I'm wondering if Windows uses
some other port?


Nope, it uses the default 631.


When we use the web browser to goto
http://mywinserver/printers/p2s-as400/.printer



The page comes up which seems to indicate that IPP is enabled for the
printer.



Unfortunately, MS documentation assumes you're be printing from a
Windows client.  It doesn't tell you what you need to know to print from
some other client.


Client type shouldn't matter for LPR (or IPP as MS likes to call it), its a 
standard protocol.

Have you checked that the windows printer in question is marked as shared (as 
p2s-as400 as well?)? On my win2k box at least, it has to be shared to be 
available to any outside entities, LPR enabled or not.
