Since there are a lot of linux versions, here is a example for setup on Redhat linux 6.1 with Xwindow. 1. Select "System" -> "Control Center" -> "Printer" -> "Add" 2. Input the following information on the Name: the name you assigned to the print queue. Spool Directory: use the default value File Limit: 0 Remote Host: IP address of the printserver. Remote Queue: the logical port you want to use Input Filter: Click the "select" button to assign the printer you are using. Here is a example: Name: lp0 Spool directory: var/spool/lpd/lp0 File Limit: 0 Remote Host: 203.70.249.226 Remote Queue: L1 Input Filter: HP LaserJet The about setting will creat a directory "lp0" in "var/spool/lpd" and add the following description into the /etc/printcap file. ##PRINTTOOL3## REMOTE ljet4 600x600 a4 {} LaserJet4 Default {} lp0:\ :sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp0:\ :mx#0:\ :sh:\ :rm=203.70.249.226:\ :rp=L1:\ :if=/var/spool/lpd/lp0/filter: 3. After above setup, start lpc print mechanism: lpc start printer_queue. ie: lpc start lp0 4. print using lpr command ie: lpr -P lp0 /etc/printcap If there are something problem on printing, please try to enable or disable "Convert LF to LF+CR" on BiAdmin by click "Configuration" -> "Logical Port".
