Caveat: I have not yet had any luck getting Red Hat's supplied CUPS
package to work. I built my own on 7.2, and continue to use that build
on 7.3. YMM therefore V.
lpd and CUPS are not directly compatible. To print to your CUPS server
from an lp-based client, you need to run the cups-lpd wrapper on your
server. Something like this in your xinetd config:
service printer
{
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
user = lp
server = /usr/local/cups-1.1.14/lib/cups/daemon/cups-lpd
disable = no
}
And of course, make sure you punch the appropriate hole in your
firewall.
Easiest, though, is to just install CUPS on the client. It really does
"just work", finding available printers and using them without your
help! Very slick.
