Hallo, Wer will seinen Drucker mit Parallelport für 40Euro zum Netzwerkdrucker machen? - Der Adapter Pocket Print Server DP 101P+ , (10 MBit, ethernet) (40-80Euro) kanns auch unter Linux, zumindest Suse 8.2, gerade von mir getestet. So gehts zumindest unter Suse8.2: Mit dem Browser auf 192.168.0.10 gehen. Unter "configuration" als "Port Name" den gewünschten Namen eingeben. z.B. pocket-print Warteschlange mit CUPS einrichten: Unter cups eine LPD/LPR-Warteschlange einrichten: lpd://pocket-server/pocket-print (wobei "pocket-server" in der /etc/hosts eingetragen ist mit: 192.168.0.10 pocket-server) Dann den Drucker auswählen. Fertig. Warteschlange unter LPR/LPD: ... habe ich (noch) nicht gemacht, weil ich CUPS habe. Beschreibung dazu im PS Admin.PDF der beiligenden CD: (in der Beschreibung sind andere Adressen und Namen als die von mir gewählten eingesetzt): For "flavors" of the Unix operating system derived from or related to the BSD releases, such as SunOS 4.x, Linux, BSD/OS, FreeBSD, or NetBSD, you can use the following procedure to enable users to print to a printer connected to your print server: 1. Log in as the superuser (root). 2. Add an entry for the print server in the host's /etc/hosts file, giving a hostname for the print server's IP address. A line in /etc/hosts contains an IP address and one or more aliases for the host. For example: 202.39.74.40 ps-142634 ps-142634.company.com If you use DNS (the Domain Naming Services protocol), you can add an address record entry to your DNS database for the print server. 3. Create a spool directory for the printer: On SunOS systems, create the directory as a subdirectory of /var/spool, with the same name as the printer (e.g., /var/spool/hp5l). On Linux systems, create the directory as a subdirectory of /usr/spool/lp. On BSD/OS, FreeBSD, or NetBSD systems, create the directory as a subdirectory of /var/spool. 4. Change the owner and permissions of the directory so that it is owned and writable by group daemon, using the following commands: chown bin.daemon /var/spool/hp5l chmod 775 /var/spool/hp5l 5. Add an entry for the printer to /etc/printcap, similar to the following: hp5l:\ :lp=:sd=/var/spool/hp5l:mx#0:\ :rm=ps-142634:rp=PS-142634-P1: The meaning of each of the entries is described below. The directory path in the sd spool directory entry should match the directory name you created above. If your entry requires more than one line you can escape the newline with a backslash. 6. Issue the command lpc start hp5l to start a spool daemon for the printer. The printer will now be available for use. 7. Optionally, add another printcap entry (and issue another lpc start command) for a second printer, using the port_TEXT port. This second printer name can be used for printing text files. Entries in /etc/printcap begin with a name for the printer or a list of names, separated by | (a vertical bar). The entries used above are: lp= The lp entry is used to specify a local printer device. Since the printer is a remote printer, this entry should be blank. sd=dir The location of the printer's local spool directory. mx#blocks The limit for print job files in the local spool directory; 0 means no limit. rm=address The host where the remote printer is located, in this case your print server. rp=printer The name of the printer on the remote host. For the print server, the port name should be used. Note: this entry is case-sensitive. Printing from SCO Unix System V/386 To allow printing to a printer attached to your print server from a SCO Unix System V/386 host, 1. Login as the superuser (root). 2. Add an entry for the print server in the host's /etc/hosts file, giving a hostname for the print server's IP address. A line in /etc/hosts contains an IP address and one or more aliases for the host. For example: 202.39.74.40 ps-142634 ps-142634.company.com If you use DNS (the Domain Naming Services protocol), you can add an address record entry to your DNS database for the print server. 3. Change to the /dev directory, and issue the command mkdev rlp 4. The script will ask: Do you want to install or delete remote printing (i/d/q)? Answer i and press Enter to continue. 5. The script will ask: Do you want to change the remote printer description file /etc/printcap(y/n)? Answer y and press Enter to continue. 6. The script will ask: Please enter the printer name (q to quit): Enter an alias for the printer on the local machine and press Enter. This name should be the same as the destination port name. 7. Answer r (remote printer) to the question Is printer a remote printer or a local printer (r/l)? 8. When prompted with the question: Please enter the name of the remote host that printer is attached to: then enter the address of the print server. You can use the name you added to /etc/hosts in the step above. 9. Confirm that your entries are correct. Is this correct? (y/n) 10.Answer the question: Would you like this to be the system default printer? (y/n) 11.When you are done adding remote printers, enter q for the printer name. 12.Answer y to the question Do you want to start remote daemon now (y/n)? Once remote printing is set up, you can use the lp command to print jobs to the new printer. For more information, consult your SCO Unix documentation. Printing from Solaris Ekkard
