LPR Printing / IPP Printing (Windows 2000 Server) Need help with setup..

Hey everyone,

I need some help, let me lay out what I'm dealing with and maybe someone can help me.

Server Location: Baton Rouge, LA
Printer Location: Orlando, FL

I've got a server running windows 2000 server along with IIS which runs terminal services. We just recently bought an Okidata 5150n printer which supports LPR/IPP printing.

I'm having some trouble configuring it to work properly.

The Okidata 5150n is behind a router, however I have forwarded ports 631 and 9100 to the printer IP. Everything works fine with the forwarding, I'm able to add the printer accordingly on the server. However, when I attempt to print a test page I receive an error.

How should I go about adding this printer? Which services should I have? Anything special in the configuration?

Printer: Okidata 5150n

TCP/IP Configuration (From network information printout on printer)
Printer Name: OLA45056

Do I need to forward port 80 also to the printer?
I've got Printing Services for Unix installed.

Just throwing out some info for you all...

Thanks
