1 - 6 UNIX PRINTING
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.
Linux Configuration Using CUPS
Many Linux systems support Common Unix Printing System
(CUPS).
