    I am a network admin and I have a co-work (who's been here longer than me)
    who has most of the printers setup as LPR printers. This is an NT/2000
    network with NO UNIX whatsoever... Now from where I've worked in the past
    I've always used either standard TCP/IP or HP Jetdirect ports with minimal
    problems.

    Since I've been here I noticed there are a few quirky problems with users
    printing and the spooler needing to be reset on the print server(W2K). I
    feel that some of these problems could be because some ports are setup as
    LPR.

    Am I right?

    These are all HP printers using internal or external jet direct cards...

    Also is there any difference between a standard tcp/ip port and an HP TCP/IP
    Port? THanks

    ??????
    before you make changes that affect multiple users, make sure you have all
    the pertinent info. why don't you just ask the guy why he hasn't made the
    change from LPR to ip printing - and volunteer to do the work if you still
    want to make the change.
    yes. check the microsoft site? if there wasn't - they wouldn't bother
    seperating the two, would they?
