I would recommend using lprng to print to you printers, especially if they are on the network with jetdirect cards. These are well supported with lprng. Lprng is in the N series packages. The only problem is that YAST can't set the connection to a network device. I configure my /etc/printcap by using YAST and tell it that the printer is on /dev/lp0 (or something like that) and then change this in /etc/printcap by hand to the network address. The entry then looks something like this: lp|deelder|Laserjet 4000 computerroom:\ :lp=192.168.1.176%9100:\ :sd=/var/spool/lpd/deelder:\ :lf=/var/log/lpd/deelder.log:\ :af=/var/log/lpd/deelder.act:\ :if=/var/lib/apsfilter/bin/PS_1200dpi-a4-auto-mono-1200:\ :mx#0:\ :sh: 192.168.1.176 is the ip-address of my printer. Jetdirect listens at port 9100. If you have an external jetdirect with multiple ports the first one listens at 9100, the second at 9101 etc., all with the same ip-address. I also changed the name from PS-1200dpi-a4 etc... to something people can remember (in this case deelder, a dutch poet). Dontt forget to rename the spool directory in /var/spool/lpd too if you do this. I also have webadmin installed, but I only use it to look at the printer, not to configure the queues. BTW there is a small bug in apsfilter in SuSE 63 if you use it with W9x clients that print via Samba to an HP postscript printer on your SuSE server. Instead of the printout you get the postscript itself printed as ascii if you use the automatic filter. I have a small patch for apsfilter that fixes this.
