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.
