If LPR/LPD is a file transfer protocol and abides by whatever standards
that includes, then how can you have a legitimate print queue managed on
the 3000 that handles paper out, connect breaks, paper jams, etc, etc..??
 
I guess I must be missing something here as to why LPR/LPD is THE
WAY TO GET THIS DONE. (Maybe I don't have all the info.)
