Dear folks,
I am trying to connect a network printer to be able to print to it. I
know the make/model of the printer:
HP Color LaserJet CP4520
and the ip address it is on
10.155.135.3
I want to use lpd/lpr to be able to print as is specified in
http://www.wonkity.com/~wblock/docs/html/lpdprinting.html
I read the instructions on the handbook, but it does not specify how
to use the ip address or specify it to print to it. How can I set
this printer up?
I have setup /etc/printcap with the following:
lp:\
:lp=:\
:sh:\
:mx#0:\
:rm=HP_Color_LaserJet_CP4520:\
:rp=raw:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\
:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:
but there is no ip adress where the communication can exist. How can
I do this? Do I setup the printer with CUPS? or can it be done with
lpr which is what I use with a local HP 1200 printer, but this one is
a network printer.
Thanks,
Antonio
