For simplicity, though, you probably want to use the same name and aliases as on the printer host. 2.- Leave the lp capability blank, explicitly (:lp=:). 3.- Make a spooling directory and specify its location in the sd capability. LPD will store jobs here before they get sent to the printer host. 4.- Place the ip of the jetdirect in the rm capability. 5.- Place the string "raw" or "text" in the rp capability. Tip: If you are using a Hewlett Packard Laserjet then the printer name rp=text will automatically perform the LF to CRLF conversion for you. maps
