LPR byte counting might be the issue. The specs for LPR/LPD state a data
file containing the exact byte count expected from the LPR client should be
sent to the LPD service prior to the job. The Standard TCP/IP Port monitor
sends like a 4gig fake size. Most LPD implementations ignore the data file
and just process the job, thus the fake size attribute.
Since it works on XP (I assume in the same configuration) I would not expect
this to be the issue but please enable byte counting and see if this
resolves the issue. Byte counting will render the job to obtain how many
bytes to include in the data file, then render the document again when it is
sent to the printer.
If that does not work, install the LPR Port under Control Panel / Programs
and Features / Turn Windows features on and off
