It looks to me as if there may be a permissions problem on ishtar. The Windows machine (martin) *does* try to submit a job, so the installation worked ok, and lpd acknowledges the transmission. However, then you get a job error and the file is created with zero bytes - hmm, that *doesn't* sound like permssions, actually, you'd expect no spool file to be created at all. "lp" *is* the actual name of the spool you're trying to access, right? My experience with LPR printing from Windows machines is entirely with embedded or standalone print servers, rather than through a Unix host, so I've probably reached the end of my usefulness. > this is how I add the printer: > Start -> Settings -> Printers -> Local printer -> Create new port -> > Standard TCP/IP port -> Printer name/address: ishtar.bellavista.cz -> > Device type -> Custom -> Protocol: LPR, Spool name: lp -> <select > the right driver> (the printer is HP LaserJet 1200 PS) -> ... -> > print test page.

I'd throw a protocol analyzer (tcpdump would do) on there and see what the conversation looks like, but that's just me as a network guy.
