You should expect this on the desktop. You already have lprportd running.
:-)

rc = 231 means pipe busy which is true.

That's what should happen if the daemon is not started. Normally, you
would start it from TCPSTART.CMD and it would sits there the same way, but
you would never see it sitting. Which brings up the question, why aren't
you starting it from TCPSTART.CMD. You said you checked and TCPSTART.CMD
matched the desktop. Did you forget to put TCPSTART.CMD in the startup
folder or did it get lost somehow?

>Does this information help?

Try this on the laptop:

- start lprportd
- open another command line session
- copy \config.sys \pipe\lpd0

Correct my naming as needed and tell me what happens.

Are you sure you updated lprportd.exe. If it was running, it should have
been locked. Of course, as I mentioned above, it appears you are not
starting it, so it probably did get updated.

I guess it's time for you to send me:

- config.sys
- protocol.ini
- setup.cmd
- tcpstart.cmd
- lantran.log

so I can see if you you think you are doing matches the reality. That's
assuming you really are starting TCPSTART.CMD.
