Joyce:

I'm no expert on this, that said, check your properties as it seems odd to me the way your SLPR1 is 
referenced.

I thought from prior reading that 192.168.1.1 was your router but you are now saying it is your 
print server??

FWIW, my router is 192.168.1.1 and my printer is 192.168.1.26.
My printer object is HP 2015PS.  The Output tab in the properties dialog for that object shows 
SLPR1 as selected (cross hatched).  Compared to your description, my SLPR1 object is named SPPR1 
192.168.1.26:P2015dn

Right clicking on SLPR1 to get it's properties I have:
LPD Server 192.168.1.26
LPD Printer P2015dn
Port Name SLPR1, high performance checked.

In addition to the above, I run LPRPORTD.  This is started at bootup by running 
\tcpip\bin\tcpstart.cmd in the startup folder.  That file contains (among other things) the command 
start /min lprportd 

I don't know if any of the above is helpful but I hope it leads you in the right direction.
