remote printing under OpenBSD
Ok,
I have a book entitled Essential System Administration, O'Reilly
& Assc. 2nd Edition. (It's probably out of date now.) Anyway, this
book describes configuration of the /etc/printcap file for remote
printers. However, it doesn't say anything about proper setup for an
HP JetDirect card. Last week, I rev'd up the firware on my HP JetDirect
card to support manual config of IP. I've configured IP and now I want
to make my OpenBSD boxes send print job's there.
I was doing ok with the printcap file until it mentioned and entry
for the port number on the remote host. Obviously, the printer isn't
running any OS so there is no port. Does anyone have any experience
with Jet Direct and OpenBSD? Can anyone steer me in the right
directions?
