[SLUG] Steps to install printing (lprng) on new debian system

2003-03-04 Thread Terry Collins
I tried searching the doco, but I can not find anything on steps to
install printing on a new debian system. 

If it is just a matter of packages to install, which ones? So far I've
chased lprng, lprngtools, lprfax, printop, ifhp and hpoj, but now where
have a I managed to create a /etc/printcap.

I don't know what your requirements are but have you considered cups?

The packages you'll want are cupsys and foomatic-db there will be some
dependencies that apt will solve. Configure via QT-Cups or the web
interface.

For lpr you'll want lprng then I find printtool useful to configure
(if you have a GUI)
