PROBLEM:
I've got a workstation and a firewall/hub/print server that works with
lpr commands sent against it. The print server no longer has a printer
on it. I previously, mistakingly, sent an lpr request against it while
writing a program that needed to print. Now, every so many minutes in
my event log, I get this MAC error that someone has already broken
down for me as my computer trying to print. This continues even if I
turn my workstation off and back on again. How do I stop this job? I
don't see how. Everything I look at is empty.

Good question. Maybe nothing.

Print spooler sending, but 810... from

Now, I have no idea why the box with the 3Com card (192.168.100.12)
wants to talk from port 810. You might be able to use 'lsof' or
'fuser'
on that system to find out what process is using that port. The
acronym
'FCP' or company 'softarc' doesn't ring a bell.
>WINDOW=0 RES=0x00 ACK RST URGP=0
That's a FOAD message - TCP windoze size to zero (don't talk to me),
ACK
(yeah, I heard you), "RST" = "go away kid, you bother me".
So - in translation, something on the box with the 3Com wants to send
something to the line printer it thinks is running on the box with the
NETServer card (192.168.100.1). That box isn't running a printer
daemon,
or doesn't want 192.168.100.12 printing, and is telling it to go away.
Solution: find out why 192.168.100.12 wants to print _OR_ find out
why
192.168.100.1 doesn't want to hear that crap.
