Hi Phil,
the command-line tool for configuring the printers with cups is
lpadmin, for example:
lpadmin -p Deskjet -E -v parallel:/dev/lp0 -m deskjet.ppd
-p: name of the printer, e.g. Deskjet
-E: enable the printing queue for the printer
-v: printer device, e.g. parallel:/dev/lp0 for first parallel port
-m: use the default directory /usr/share/cups/model for the PPD
description files
deskjet.ppd: default ppd for HP deskjet printer
It's also possible to configure the printer with a web-interface. Just
start your favorite browser and go to http://localhost:631/admin/.
Then use the button Add Printer to configure a new printer.
Bye
Andreas
