-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi,
I would recommend lprng+ifhp. If I were you, I would not worry about creating your printcap manually. First, there is lprngtool - GUI frontend to LPRng based /etc/printcap. Second, creating printcap file manually is not that difficult. I may send you mine, which should work with only minimal changes, and later you may gradually fine-tune it to your needs. How is your printer connected to your computer? As for cups, many find it to be much less secure than lprng.
