Hi Guys,
I been reading FreeBSd docs on remote pritning.
It mostly talks about setting up a local printer.
In which case, I could care less about since I want to
print to my HP Jetdirect print server.
Mainly, I really don't want to install CUPS. I would
just like to use the default lp that comes with
FreeBSD.
Can anyone direct me in the right direction?
Uncomment/Tweak the following in your /etc/printcap:
remote|sample remote printer:\
:sh:\
:rm=lphost:sd=/var/spool/output/lphost:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs
The print server emulator in HP JetDirect tends to be single threaded,
and so does not respond to requests like "lpq" while printing, which is
why I prefer the method in my previous mail (configuring the printer
as "local" with "lp=<host>@<port>". Queueing is then handled locally).
$.02,
/Mikko
Make sure the spool directory exists, create if not there. For your
installation you don't need an if= attribute. Make sure lpd is
running, enable within /etc/rc.conf.
lpd_enable="YES" # Run the line printer daemon.
Cheers.
