As Mandrake 7.2 has CUPS as printing system now, the things are
different:
/var/spool/lpd is obsolete
/var/spool/cups only contains spooled jobs, no config files
/etc/printcap is generated by CUPS so thet KDE and other applications
find the
printers
The configuration of CUPS is in the files in the /etc/cups directory.
See also the documentation of CUPS on http://localhost:631/.
For setting up an ethernet-connected printer, start "kups" choose
"Printer"/"Add"
and on the "Backend Selector" page choose the protocol of the printer:
IPP, LPD, Socket, SMB. In the case of SMB and Socket you can even scan
the network to find your printer. Check the manual of your printer to
know which protocol it uses.
