What do you mean by 'LPR' printer? I can choose between "AppleTalk Printer",
"TCP/IP Printer", "Printer w/o connection" and "Save as PostScript" (Translated
from German)
So if I choose "TCP...", choose a suitable PPD, machine IP, queue name "lp", the
following happens:
If background printing is enabled, the system reports error 99 "the document
could not be priunted", nothing else happens.
If background printing is DISabled, nothing happens at all.
Printing via appletalk and papd works fine.
I appreciate any help
