Hi Guys,
I been reading FreeBSd docs on remote pritning.
It mostly talks about setting up a local printer.
In which case, I could care less about since I want to
print to my HP Jetdirect print server.
Mainly, I really don't want to install CUPS. I would
just like to use the default lp that comes with
FreeBSD.
Can anyone direct me in the right direction?
You can configure it as a local printer, with the "device" set to
<port>@<host>. For example:
ps|Brother HL-1270N PostScript:\
:sh:\
:mx#0:\
:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:sd=/var/spool/output/lpd/brother:\
:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:
Don't forget to create the spool directory.
This has worked fine for me for years. See docs/78480.
