Adding a Remote
Unix Printer
To add a remote UNIX printer, such as one attached to a different
UNIX/Linux system on the same network, click the New button in the
main
printconf window.
Select Unix Printer from the Queue Type menu, and click Next.
Enter a unique name for the printer in the Queue Name text field.
The printer name cannot contain spaces and must begin with a letter
a through z or A through Z. The valid characters are a through z, A
through Z, 0 through 9, -, and _. Click Next.
Text fields for the following options appear:
• Server — The hostname or IP address of the remote machine to
which the printer is attached.
• Queue — The remote printer queue. The default printer queue is
usually lp.
By default, the Strict RFC1179 Compliance option is not chosen. If
you are having problems printing to a non-Linux lpd queue, choose
this option to disable enhanced LPRng printing features.
Click Next to continue
The next step is to select the type of printer that is connected to the
remote system.
Important!
Selecting the Print
Driver
If you are configuring a local printer, select the print driver from the
list. The printers are divided by manufacturers. Click the arrow beside
the manufacturer for your printer. Find your printer from the
expanded list, and click the arrow beside the printer name. A list of
drivers for your printer will appear. Select one. Then finish the wizard
in the usual manner.
The remote machine must be configured to allow the local machine to print
on the desired queue. As root, create the file /etc/hosts.lpd on the remote
machine to which the printer is attached. On separate lines in the file, add the
IP address or hostname of each machine which should have printing
privileges.
