Ben,

When you setup lprportd did you choose "detached" or "foreground" session. Mine are detached. If
yours is foreground try changing it to detached. It's a faint memory now but I think I had the same
problem with lprportd set to foreground.

tcpstart.cmd is what does all of the autostart stuff. Take a look at in an editor. You'll see most
things are REMed out. You should see that lprportd is not REMed out.
