hi folks,
One of my printers is an older HP LaserJet 4L attached via epp port to
one of
my Suse e-boxes. This printer is shared on the network.
Several of us print to this printer across the network using CUPS. The
other
client machines are also Suse e-boxes, 10.0. All of this printing works
fine... here is the question:
Does every machine *need* to define the printer driver, or just the
host
machine where the printer is physically attached? And the second related
question is this... (for the moment all machines are defining the print
driver) which driver actually formats the text for the printer... the driver
on the client machine CUPS server, or the driver on the host machine CUPS
server?
I am wondering if I should call the HP LJ4L a "raw" printer on the
client
machine and only have the driver configured on the host machine where the
printer physically is attached.
Thanks.
Ps... The good news is that since I have been using CUPS on Suse I have not
had to struggle with my printers... they just work... but, I would like to
understand a little better *how* they are working.
Pss... remeber the good 'ol days of lpr?
