How can I print to a network printer?
I know if its attached to a server I can say
lpr -d //server/printer file
But what do I do if the printer isn't attached to a server and is just a
printer on the network?
So it's connected to the network with what, some kind of print server?
If so and assuming the print server allows you to descibe the printer as
a samba share, then the //<printer server name>/<printer share name>
syntax may work. An IP address may be used in place of
<printer server name> too. If not, you need to configure the printer
through Windows as a network TCP/IP printer and then access it as you
would a local printer.

I have configured the printer in windows and printed the file to it using
notepad.
In the event viewer it says
Document 13, \cobol\prints\PRINT.BALANCES.20081203083027 owned by
steve.rainbird was printed on IAS_HP4PBN_A via port IP_10.26.5.11. Size
in bytes: 274872; pages printed: 2
When I print the same file using enscript I get
Document 14, stdin owned by steve.rainbird was printed on IAS_HP4PBN_A via
port IP_10.26.5.11. Size in bytes: 21499; pages printed: 0
For some reason its not printing anything.
