Printing is still nasty nasty nasty in Linux. I think CUPS may be the wave of the future, but if you want to stick to lprng, you'll probably need an entry in /etc/lprng/printcap that looks something like this:Hi, I am looking for clue on how to print to a network printer. I have read Printing-HOWTO, also visited linuxprinting.org; but still have no idea on what HP 4100n is expecting. I am using lprng, but willing to switch if I have to.

along with an appropriate directory in /var/spool/lpd, something like this:

drwxrwsr-x 2 lp lp 1024 Mar 20 17:07 lp
(I'm not sure which permissions, if either, are what's needed - I
haven't used lprng in a couple of years.)
