Re: Networking a printer through a router

Before I start down the wrong path, could you advise me on a couple of
items.

1. What is the LPD server? Would that be the address of my router? I
assume when the help file describes this as the destination printer or
print server, the router would be considered the printe server?

2. What about the LPD printer. The help file says it is the name of the
actual printer. What name? the WPS name or do I have to create a share
name? The help file I downloaded from Ecom is slightly different than
the help file that comes with the driver I installed. It states that if
I am sending directly to a printer, then I can enter the name RAW in
this menu. However, I am sending through a router, so technically that
is not direct, by my interpretation. If the printer needs an IP address
instead of, or in addition to a name, what number does one assign, any
number?

Thanks.
