Printing and Plotting

[#1]

What is the reason that so many people seem to prefer creating a LPR port vs. an IP port for printing? I can't see much difference.

Left to my own I generally create IP ports, but our OCE tech recently suggested an LPR port for some issues we had, so that's what I did for our TDS600.

This is the first time I had ever heard of LPR when we just bought our new Oce TDS600's. Seems like LPR is the status quo when speaking with the Oce folks. And I just couldn't figure out why. I run one TDS600 as a direct printer over Novell with a NDPS queue (which points to an IP address on the network), we also print to the machine direct via a local IP port installed on the machine, and then Oce came along and set the thing up on an LPR port. Couldn't tell much of a difference with any method...
