CUPS printing failure

Issue:
Jetstream/Lanstream and Iolan SDS fails to print when using CUPS LPD remote printing.

Cause:
CUPS does not conform to the LPR rfc 1179 source port restrictions by default.

Solution:

Reconfigure the printer queue type and enable Strict rfc1179 option.

You can also edit the /etc/cups/printers.conf file and add the following to the DeviceURI:

?reserve=any (or yes)

example: DeviceURI lpd://192.168.1.201/ascii_p1?reserve=any

Note: you can add the printer as a Network Printer (TCP) in CUPS (if supported) and configure the Jetstream/Lanstream/Iolan SDS port for Reverse RAW instead of the Printer service.
