Hi Sheridan =

Thanks a lot for the reply with your detailed information.

I have read and tried it not with big luck ;-( but with big luck
accidentally ;-))

Now I try to give my experiences feedback into your text below:

>> > difficulties to use its Print Server feature.

Just with the accidentally big luck I have seen my Canon BJ-230 =

connected to the SMC 7004 BR printing a "Print Screen" properly
;-))

it as the default printer.

I followed these instructions except that I used pipe\lpd1
instead of lpd0 ...
=2E.. my idea is LPT1 is the local Canon BJc-6100 on my system
WS210. =

In future I will always connect local printers to LPT1 and use
LPDx as NON-local printers.

OK, redone. It was already like you suggested ;-)

NO luck ;-(
NO luck - even setting as "default printer" ;-((

I have rechecked all settings of my printer objects (BJc-6100,
Fxprint, IBMnull and the newest one =

connected to the print server: =

Canon BJ-230 which I named BR254 ! - There are no redirections
and all the settings seem OK ;-)

After "consulting" tcphelp and playing with its commands I
accidentally got a proper printout of the =

explantation of "LPD" as a "Print Screen" ...
=2E.. THE FIRST PROPER PRINTOUT via my SMC 7004 BR ;-))

Now I happily know that this print server is able to work with my
system environment !
I also know that my printer settings, like checked just now, are
correct !!
But somehow my system settings seem to have anything mismatched
or something needed =

previously is not set nor running !?

But what and where ?

Just did another experiment:

In TCPCFG I have set LPD to "detached Autostart" too ...
=2E.. and now with drag'n drop I am able to get my autoexec.bat
printed out on PS's BJ-230 ;-))
but "print autoexec.bat" on a command line starts the BJc-6100 on
LPT1 and does not print ;-((

Why is the local BJc-6100 on LPT1 reacting even if BJ-230 on
BR254 is set as default ??

This mismatch really confuses me !
I also do not know which commands to try while iptrace is
activated !?

Your hints and suggestions are very appreciated ;-)
Once again: Thanks for your efforts ;-))

Regards, svobi
