Okay, so standard rant on LPR: It's a dumb protocol utterly incapable of any
form of intelligent error reporting.

Win2K normally just sets up SMB print queues. Right now, the only way to
attach to these is with DAVE, from Thursby Systems. I *think* it will set up
LPR queues, but remember the caveat there. I don't think it will set up IPP
queues, and currently Mac OS X can't use them anyway. It will also set up
PAP queues, aka AppleTalk printing, and PAP is still one of the best printer
protocols ever created.
