Thanks, Larry. I was able to add the ports I wanted.

I already had this since I have three printers on my LAN. It was just that I had only adjusted my
wife's computer for one printer. Due to a memory problem on the printer she normally uses we needed
to print on a printer in a different room. Alas, I couldn't do it because of the single port on her
machine. All is well now. (We got the printing done by connecting my computer to her source and
printing via my computer.)

BTW, I prefer to have lprportd Autostarted Services detached so I don't have to shut down another
window. Any special reason you set yours up as foreground?
