And your entries in the LPD printcap file on VMS
corresponds with whatever they have setup on the
Windows server ? Specificaly the rm: and rp: entries
("remote host" and "remote printer"). Is the rm
entry pointing to the Windows server and is the
rp pointing to a "printer" on the Windows server ?

Have you asked them specificaly if they have an
service running and listening on port 515 ?
(515 is the default LPD TCPIP port...)
