Can it print two consecutive test pages? For example, by selecting the option
to print a test page twice?

If the printer is attached to the back of the Windows 98 computer, does
printing work from there?

It might be a buggy implementation on Windows '98.

I have had LPR printing working successfully before now (using Hewlett Packard
printers).

On Windows '95, this required a third party utility LPR_100.EXE:

I am not sure whether the third party utility is required under Windows '98.
My notes were written for a print server, but a linux server can be used here
instead. (I have printed to a unix print server).
