Linux Configuration
If you do not wish to use the command line interface to configure your Linux distribution, you may wish to use the Linux Printer System Manager application on your GUI. To do this, do the following:
1From the Linux Printer System Manager screen, click the Add button.
2You will now be asked to specify which Printer type you are using, select the Remote Unix (lpd) Queue option and click OK.
3You must now specify the remote host name, remote queue name and the input filter to use.
4The Remote Host name is the IP address of the printer, or the name from the hosts file which corresponds to the IP address of the printer.
5The Remote Queue name is the service name that the printer will use when processing the data. Generally we recommend that you use the name “BINARY_P1”, however, if you are planning to send text documents that do not have a carriage return and a line feed, then use “TEXT_P1”.
6Select the appropriate Input Filter from the list of available printers on your particular build of Linux.
In order to make your settings work, select the Restart lpd option. As soon as the lpd server restarts, you will be able to send printed documents from your server.
Linux Configuration Using CUPS
Many Linux systems support Common Unix Printing System (CUPS).
