Just read through the FreeBSD manual about printing... you may
want to add some pointers on how to get FreeBSD to spool jobs to
a remote machine, such as on a network.
Its really pretty easy.
The steps are something like:
- Get printing working on the machine which will be the spooler.
- On the spooler, edit /etc/hosts.lpr, adding entries for each
remote host which is allowed to use the printer.
- on the remote machine, edit the printcap file something like:
lp|ben|benjamin|HPIVM:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/:\
:pl#72:pw#85:\
:sf:\
:rm=eff.org:\
:mx#0:
Thanks for your efforts! Much appreciated.
Later.
Dan
