FRITZ!Box Fon 5124 – 5 USB Devices
Example
For example, the command for a laser jet printer with the
name “Laserjet4” and the printer description file “laser-
jet.ppd” at a FRITZ!Box Fon with the default address
192.168.178.1 would read:
lpadmin -p LaserJet4 -E -v socket://192.168.178.1 -m
laserjet.ppd
You can view the printer description files installed in the sys-
tem by entering the command:
lpinfo -m.
Please direct questions about the printer description files
appropriate for your printer to the manufacturer of the printer
or the system. Comprehensive information about the CUPS
print software is presented in the following documentation:

Please also direct any questions about configuration to the
manufacturer of the distribution or to an Internet or usenet
forum dealing especially with CUPS or the distribution used.
