How do I configure a printer (Laserjet 4050) using the console?  I've tried

$man printcap
$man lpr
$man lpd

None helped.  I looked for howtos and info's, but to no avail.

I need to configure local (LPT1), and a few remote (SMB, LPD) printers for
this particular linux box.  I'm considering loading X just to find out how
it makes the printcap file and then remove X.

My opnion is that we need a text equivalent of print-tool (maybe a module
for linuxconf?)
