I assume it is using a Jetdirect card? I am using lprng with an HP4500C with a Jetdirect card and it works great. http://www.lprng.com/LPRng-HOWTO-Multipart/installation.htm That should give you a basic idea on how to get it working. The command 'checkpc' is your friend. It will check a queue and make sure it is setup properly, and if not, will do what needs to be done. Here is my /etc/printcap file for the Jetdirect printer: colorlaser :lp= :rm=172.17.0.42 :rp=text :sd=/var/spool/lpd/colorlaser :lf=/var/log/colorlaser.log :mx#0 :sh Change the colorlaster to whatever you want to name the queue, and change the :rm= to the IP address that you assign to your Jetdirect card. Any questions, fire them away! -- :wq! Matthew Daubenspeck http://www.oddprocess.org
