I am putting up our first workstations with linux, little by little 
replacing the windows workstations. Have not been so long into linux, so 
questions are all the time popping up.

Have tried to configure the network printers, and have installed the hp 
web jetadmin on the workstation. Our printers are installed with hp jet 
direct printers and one printer connected to the main servers parallell 
port.

The one that is connected to the servers lpt1 is a hp laserjet 4 and can 
not be detected by hp web jetadmin. How shall I configure the 
/etc/printcap?

Our server run slackware kernel 2.2.16-22. The workstation is redhat 7.0 
with same kernel

The printer I want to configure is defined as servername/laser.   In 
windows I can connect with servername/laser , but in redhat I have to 
use the dns adress.

Now my /etc/printcap looks like this: (made with the printtool in the 
kde menue)


##PRINTTOOL3## DIRECT
laser:\
    :sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\
    :mx#0:\
    :sh:\
    :rm=192.168.2.1
    :rp=laser
    :af=/var/spool/lpd/lp/acct:\
    :lp=/dev/null:\
    :if=/usr/lib/rhs/rhs-printfilters//directprint:


But I do not get any contact, and recieve no error scripts. The jobs I 
send out do not get into the printer que on the server.

Can someone help me?
