Hello Tim, 

      You're right - it is a problem on the service side.  And yes, I
already disabled the firewall on the server side as well.  And the queue
is available remotely, for it can be see whenever I use an application
(for example, Open Office.org or from a browser, "File-Print" ).  As I
also mentioned in a previous response, the printer is connected to the
server through the parallel port.
