You should be able to make lp print using ftp, since that is working. Is any other host printing to that printer, or any other way?

A UNIX/LINUX printer lp setup can easily terminate in a shell script as driver, as I recall.

It should be possible to just replace the broken printer+print_server with a printer with an onboard print_server (which supports ftp printing) and adopt the old IP address.

We were put in touch with a company tech. Hopefully he can help. If not, I'll be back.

Thanks for your help.

Yes, it is good to have a central queueing server where you can go for reprints, but some modern printers are pretty server-like.
