This is for a printer that understands lpd protocol natively, and it presumes that you will send it only languages that it understands natively. (This one happens to be smart enough to handle -- at least -- both plain text and PostScript; if you want to "lpr textfile" to a PostScript-only printer you'll need some filters.) lp|Samsung ML-2571N PostScript network printer:\ :sh:\ :rm=ml2571n:sd=/var/spool/output/ml2571n:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs: You also need to map the name to an IP address in /etc/hosts, something like this 192.168.200.201 ml2571n or in DNS.
