CHAPTER 1 UNIX PRINTING
1-6
Linux Configuration
If you do not wish to use the command line interface to configure your Linux
distribution, you may wish to use the Linux Printer System Manager application on
your GUI. To do this, do the following:
1.
From the Linux Printer System Manager screen, click the "Add" button.
2.
You will now be asked to specify which Printer type you are using, select
the "Remote Unix (lpd) Queue" option and click "OK".
3.
You must now specify the remote host name, remote queue name and the
input filter to use.
4.
The "Remote Host" name is the IP address of the printer, or the name from
the hosts file which corresponds to the IP address of the printer.
5.
The "Remote Queue" name is the service name that the printer will use when
processing the data. Generally we recommend that you use the name
"BINARY_P1", however, if you are planning to send text documents that do
not have a carriage return and a line feed, then use "TEXT_P1".
6.
Select the appropriate "Input Filter" from the list of available printers on
your particular build of Linux.
In order to make your settings work, select the "Restart lpd" option. As soon as the
lpd server restarts, you will be able to send printed documents from your server.
