I'm using a standalone Lantronix print server that supports several
protocols: IPX, appletalk, tcp/ip and whatever DEC uses, I can't recall.
With each protocol it has has its own network number
I use lpr with the tcp protocol and a printcap that specifies
eps_prt|Dept laser printer NAME:\
:rm:\
:rg=mygroup:\ # prevents unauthorized access
:rp=NAME_:\ # NAME_ must be in /etc/hosts with ip number
:sd=/usr/spool/lpd/eps
To print a file, I say:
lpr -PNAME_ file_name
You will need to do some reading in your manual for your printserver,
and some of the HOWTO documents. I can't help with other protocols.
