Ok here goes....
1) Small office hires me to "install" new laptops, and add them to network enviroment.
2) Everything went without comment until....
They are using a large multifunction Toshiba E-Studio 160 (http://www.eid.toshiba.com/products/...tudio160.shtml)
and are sending print documents to is wirelessly via A DLINK 2.4ghz print server, (http://www.dlink.com/products/?pid=38). So, following the way this system was originally installed I do the following,
A) Under Printers and Faxes in Windows XP "Add A printer"
B) Select "Local Printer"
C) Select create new port
D) Port Settings Are:
192.168.2.199
E)Confirm all that and contine on, and select the printer and it installs the new driver,
I then go into the control panel of the printer under properties, and "Configure Port" and change from RAW to LPR and name the print que "lp1" then i hit apply and OK, at which point I try to print a test page, which does not work, and the one time it did, it printer the standard "garbage":80912pofiefwejf-0p932fj-93fjpf9j2
all of that ^^^ jazz...
So does anyone have any ideas?

THANKS,
