Help with move to CUPS
I starting to do an upgrade on a small network of
debian systems. Moving from 1.3 to 3.0.
It seems like time to replace lpr with CUPS.
I am having a problem getting a handle on CUPS.
Oh, I have set up single systems with attached printers
without problems. I have never seen any setup
of networked printers except via lpr.
I have a couple of LaserJet 6L's and LJ 4000's that
I'd like to connect to the LAN via NetGear PS101 Mini
Printer Servers. I am starting with one LJ 6L. 6L's
don't do postscript, LJ4000's do.
Specific questions:
What "Device" to use for a free standing printer,
http, ipp, lpd/lpr?
If lpd/lpr, how do you construct a URI for such
a printer?
Do I want 10 desktop machines to directly talk to
a LJ4000 or have an intermediary host be their
server?
