Print Queues

Adding a Remote Unix Printer

Debian offers a choice between plain LPD, LPRng and CUPS. There are several printer configuration tools in this distribution, e.g. the apsfilter (version 5 or later), which adds support for LPRng and Ghostscript's uniprint driver scheme. Red Hat's printtool is also supported, for those who prefer GUI administration tools.

For LPRng, LPD and CUPS use the Printtool.

1.From the Gnome desktop, select Main Menu (on the panel) => Debian menus => Apps => System => Printtool.

2.On the KDE desktop, select the Main Menu (on the Panel) => System => Debian => Printtool.

3.Open a terminal window and type the command printtool (in XTERM or Gnome).

Five types of print queues can be configured with printconf in the Debian distribution:

•Local Printer

•Unix Printer (lpd Spool

•Windows Printer (SMB)

•Novell Printer (NCP Queue)

•JetDirect Printer

1.Start printtool and click Add.

2.Select Remote Unix (lpd) Queue from the Printer Type menu, and click OK. Text fields for the following options appears:

•Printer name — Enter a unique name for the printer. (The name cannot contain spaces and must begin with a letter. Valid characters are a - z, A - Z, 0 - 9, -, and _.

•Remote Host — The hostname or IP address of the remote machine to which the printer is attached.

•Remote Queue and input filter — The remote printer queue and input filter.

3.Click Next to continue. Click Select to choose a printer driver and to set it up.

4.Click OK. Finally, click Test and print a test page.
