Re: RH9 - setting up to a print server????
This would defeat the whole purpose of having the print server, i.e. Not having to have a given computer up and running in order to print, the print server and printer use about one-fifth the the electricity that a Winders box uses! (I live off the grid and saving 80-130 watts matters!)

Re: RH9 - setting up to a print server????
RH9 uses CUPS for printing. Launch the CUPS daemon and then kick off the Print Manager. I'm guessing you want to set the queue type to LPD but the JetDirect option *might* work. Other option would be to share off a queue on Windows box, point to that box and set the queue to SMB. This would allow you to interface with any vendor specific tools you want to use.

Re: RH9 - setting up to a print server????
I don't have the Netgear (nor, for that matter, RH -- I'm Debian), but the bottom line is that you probably want to use "direct printing" (or something close to that), to port 9100 on 10.0.1.100. If that doesn't work, then try LPR. I'm sorry I can't give you more directions, but w/o Red Hat, I can't figure out exactly what step-by-step stuff to tell you. Feel free to either reply directly to me, or e-mail the list, if you can give add'l particulars. -Ken > I just installed RH 9 on one of my machines and it pretty much all > works.

RH9 - setting up to a print server????
I just installed RH 9 on one of my machines and it pretty much all works. I have a network here with an Apple Airport doing DHCP and have a NetGear PS110 (hard addressed as 10.0.1.100) print server on the net. I currently have two Winders XP boxes and two MacOSX boxes using the print server and the attached Epson 820. On the Windows boxes I use Netgear's "Add Network Printer' software and on the MacOSX I use the GimpPrint drivers and everything works fine. I have made a few attempts to set it up on RH9 and have gotten nowhere. How do I tell RH9 to access a printer on a Network print server?
