lpstat command and Window LPD Server

Hi.. when i run lpstat command appears "no entries" which means that queue has been added ... but in one server appeared the followign ... what is the meaning?

$ lpstat PRINTER1

printer queue for PRINTER1

Windows LPD Server
Printer \\120.23.34.54\PRINTER1

Owner Status Jobname Job-Id Size Pages Priority

is that redirected to a windows server???
why is showed "Owner, Status, etc .." and in the other ones not ???

The information you reference is obtained from the REMOTE print server, whatever it is, when you do an lpstat for a printer defined as REMOTE.

So, in your case, yes the command is querying the Windows server to attempt to get the information. The information retrieved will depend entirely on the remote server.
