Yes a reboot always helps doesn't it. On XP Print Services for Unix is set
to start manually ("net start lpdsvc" in a cmd window). If you always
want it running open services manager and set it to Automatic. If you need
special configurations for this Unix service there is no UI, but the
registry keys are well documented @ microsoft.com. Just search in the
knowledgebase.
