In /etc/printcap do this:
lp:\
:sh:\
:mx#0:\
:rm=192.168.0.253:sd=/var/spool/output/carnegie:\
:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:
This sets up lp (the default printer) as being the remote machine 192.168.0.253
and it has a spool area on this machine in /var/spool/output/carnegie
Next you have to go to the printer and via its knobs tell it what IP and netmask
to use, and enable TCPIP. That's about it. This works on a HP Laserhet 4500N.
