We only have a couple of mac users printing to network printers at our
site, but setting them up with the printer utility was simple and worked
on the first try for me.
If it helps, I'm running LPRng v3.7.9, and I think (but have not confirmed)
that the mac users are running Mac OS 9.
If it helps at all, here's the printcap entry for the printer that one of
the mac users prints to:
engl_prn5r:force_localhost
engl_prn5r:server
:bk
:send_data_first
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/%P
:lp=10.0.80.50%9100
:sh
