Hello,

At the Computing Center of the University of Lihge, we used a LPD/LPR on AIX systems to manage queues to Plotters, Main Printers.

Unfortunatly, the CUPS system included into MacOS X (10.3) doesn't send control and data files to a port between 721 and 731 as mentioned into the LPD/LPR RFC.

The manager doesn't undestand the spooling files and discard the printing process.

Is it possible to force a port between 721 and 731 in the config files of the CUPS engine.

Add "?reserve=yes" to the end of the device URI; you can do this
on the command-line with:

lpadmin -p printername -v 'lpd://servername/printername?reserve=yes'

or using the web interface at:

http://localhost:631/admin/

I believe that 10.3.1 and higher default to this behavior.
