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
