<b>Problem solved!<br>
<br>
</b>It was the damn M$ Firewall on my wife's computer! Yes, allow
Printing and Fax was checked in the Exceptions, but for some unknown
reason it did not allow the printing to go through. Turned off the
Firewall and the spooled pages came flying out!<br>
<br>
Even though I know just enough to keep my Linux servers running
(actually, once they are up I am able forget them until we lose power -
then I need to power them back on :-) ), I know that somewhere in there
is an answer. Not so with Windows.<br>
<br>
Thank you for trying to help with this....<br>

Yes. Line Printer Daemon (LPD) is a well-established, legacy
standard. It uses port 515 and is governed by IETF RFC1179:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1179.txt">http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1179.txt</a>
The new IETF standard is the Internet Printing Protocol
(IPP). It uses port 631 (both clear and SSL) and is governed
by IETF RFC2910:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2910.txt">http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2910.txt</a>
Another port to be aware of is port 9100, commonly referred
to by it's vendor-centric names like a "HP JetDirect" port.
The technical name is the [HP] Page Description Language
datastream (PDL-datastream) port. Microsoft calls it a
"TCP/IP port", and you set it up as a local port, which maps
back to the IP address/port.
BSD/SysV UNIX LPD, LPR and LPRng offer LPD services.
CUPS offers IPP by default, and it can also offer LPD
services.
CUPS, as a client, can also use other methods including LPD,
IPP, SMB, PDL-datastream, etc...
CUPS also offers a replacement spooler for NT/2000/XP that
radically simplifies/centralizes administration for Windows
clients.
Windows Servers can offer SMB and LPD, and newer versions can
offer IPP services. Windows NT/2000 clients can use SMB, LPD
and PDL-datastream, with XP adding IPP. For IPP, LPD and
PDL-datastream, you set it up as a "local port."
Macs can also use LPD and PDL-datastream, with newer MacOS X
releases supporting IPP.
