Good. IF you do not have CUPS, install it.
Then, I run it through netscape by typing in http://localhost:631/, I have found
that if immediately after installing CUPS, this doesn't work. I am sure there
is something you could change to make it work, but to me it is easier just to
reboot.
Once you have the CUPS administration tool running, click on 'printers'. From
here, you can add a printer. You can give it whatever name you want.
>From here, you click continue and you have to pick a device. What works for me,
even though I have HP JetDirect cards, is to pick lpd/lpr host or printer.
Here, it asks for the URL. It says lpd already, append to lpd and make it
lpd://10.88.65.2(or whatever the IP address would be)
Then, you have to pick the models and such of your printer. You should then be
done. If you do this on one computer that is on all the time, that is all you
should have to do to your system if your DNS is working properly. Mine isn't,
so right now I have done this to all my computers and the printers on other
computers show up, but I can't print to them. It is irritating stuff. But I am
sure you are better off than me on this subject.
