What is the part that didn't work for you? If you make a setup for printing to a JetDirect, you can start apsfilter yourself, by typing /var/lib/apsfilter/SETUP. There you first set up a Remote printer (don't forget to actually save the config in the apsfilter setup), and then you choose the option to Prefilter, to set things up correctly. That leaves you with several printers in /etc/printcap, i only use the auto one, not the ascii or raw, so I comment those out. At this very same moment, if you have Samba running, you can play host for other systems to print to as well. Good luck :) Jan On Mon, 29 May 2000, Keith Gibbons wrote:
Hi there, Sorry if you think I am butting in here but I am very interested in setting up Linux as a print server on my own system. I have no problem setting up with the server connected locally via parallel port but how does one set about using a network connected printer such as a HP Ljet with Jetdirect card installed. Do you just point to the TCP/IP address instead of lp0? I have already used this method and it hasn't worked for me. I could not find any help in the HOW-TO or from HP.
