Cups can also connect networked printers here are some examples from the
help files.
Adding Your First Printer from the Command-Line
Run the lpadmin command with the -p option to add a printer to CUPS:
/usr/sbin/lpadmin -p printer -E -v device -m ppd ENTER
For a HP DeskJet printer connected to the parallel port this would look
like:
/usr/sbin/lpadmin -p DeskJet -E -v parallel:/dev/lp1 -m deskjet.ppd
ENTER
Similarly, a HP LaserJet printer using a JetDirect network interface at
IP address 11.22.33.44 would be added with the command:
/usr/sbin/lpadmin -p LaserJet -E -v socket://11.22.33.44 -m laserjet.ppd
ENTER
As you can see, deskjet.ppd and laserjet.ppd are the PPD files for the
HP DeskJet and HP LaserJet drivers included with CUPS. You'll find a
complete list of PPD files and the printers they will work with in
Appendix C, "Printer Drivers".
For a dot matrix printer connected to the serial port this would might
look like:
/usr/sbin/lpadmin -p DotMatrix -E -m epson9.ppd \
-v serial:/dev/ttyS0?baud=9600+size=8+parity=none+flow=soft ENTER
Here you specify the serial port (e.g. S0,S1, d0, d1), baud rate (e.g.
9600, 19200, 38400, 115200, etc.), number of bits, parity, and flow
control. If you do not need flow control, delete the "+flow=soft"
portion.

Subject: RE: [Hardhats-members] Printers... An overview please.
Marc,
Thanks for writing.
I will be trying to print from linux to an hp jetdirect print server. I
think CUPS serves a printer attached to a local box to others on the
network.
This is backwards from what I need.
In AIX, I have been able to set up the print que's to connect with
jetdirect servers. I just need to do the same for linux now.
Thanks
Kevin
