You use telnet to the JetDirect box on port 9100 (It has an IP address)
to configure it. Once configured, it can act as an lp queue for lpd or cups.
Since it does not broadcast its presence, you need to configure cups on
one local machine to be its server. Once that is done, you send jobs to that
local machine as if it were the printer. The originating and receiving machines
for print jobs can be the same. It is on the cups server that you assign the
driver for the printer. That is, the filter that changes your print file into a file
of printer-specific commands, which we call a driver. The cups server
broadcasts the presence of the printer to the rest of your network machines
on port 631, so any of them can send jobs to be printed, if authorized.
Cups is supplied with the distro and can be installed by software manager if
you did not already install it.
