Hmmm, I can't really see why, it's a good net connection at least.
Maybe the server.

Not cups, and the spool option produced an error
(kInetToolErrNetworkIsInactive?)

Absolutely, looks exactly like the nifty screen shot on your beautiful
LPR page.

OK, I will try that, I think it's already on the Newt :~) Bugtrap
isn't helping much. It seems to stop the spool from errors so now I
get the unable to print message both ways.
The log file on the server says that "LPR sharing is disabled for the
queue lp". Print from a mac works aok with a null queue name. This
doesn't seem to work on the Newt although I don't see any error
messages in the server log? a mystery.

Frankly I don't think the OSX 10.1.5 print service is worth getting too
excited about. It's a convenient work around for me, but I have seen
many people complain about problems with it (I haven't has any). I
will try with my HP4Mv on monday when back at "the office".

Tried both of those to no avail. lp as a queue produced an error in the
server log. leaving the queue blank did not.

10.1.5 server isn't that smart.

immediately following the successful installation of any package (via
