Tuan,
many thanks. After spending 1.5 days trying to get my printer working from my Mandrake
box I finally managed within one hour using CUPS.
Cheers,
Norman

Well,
The best way to setup is using CUPS.
First, I assumed you installed CUPS
Second, you need to open browser (Ex. Netscape) and type
http://localhost:631 it will ask you ROOT & password.
from this page you can add new printer. When it ask you the port; select
app/jet direct.
It will show "socket:// ". you need to type: socket://(your printer server
IP):9100) (EX. socket://192.168.0.1:9100). It will ask you to select printer
and it also ask you if you want to print a test page. I use Jetdirect170 so
I put IP:9100. If it does not work with your print server, try to use 9101
or 9102.
FYI, It seem like my printer prints slower when I use Linux but it does good
job.
Tuan

Subject: [newbie] printing to Laserjet 4000 Series PS
Hi all,
I really need advice here. I have installed LM8 and want to set up a
printer.
We have a LaserJet 4000 Series PS on a network and use Netware (ipx,spx
protocol) for the Windows pc's to print on it.
I have set up the HP JetDirect print server on the printer and can talk to
it via its ip address.
>From all the websites and howto's I see there are many different options for
me CUPS, LPRng and so on. Can someone comment on my options please, eg. what
is easy to set up?
Thanks,
Norman
