We have installed the relevant drivers, from the bizhub's CDROM collection,

Windows capabilty to print to an LPR printer, first by adding "Print

That's unnecessary. All it gets you is a Microsoft lpr command-line
client and maybe an lpd server. XP lets you create a port that will
talk to lpd servers without needing the "Print Services For Unix" stuff.
I disagree. First off, you cannot create what Microsoft calls "LPR
port" without installing print services for Unix.
Microsoft's "Standard TCP/IP Port" can be configured to do lpr, but it
has proven to be anything BUT standard.
Installing the print services for UNIX and using "LPR port" instead has
solved many, many problems over the years.
Okay. The lpr mode of the "Standard TCP/IP Port" never gave me any
trouble, but that was mostly talking to JetDirects. I'd expect that to
be the most common situation and the most debugged.
