Install lprng, ifhp
/etc/lprng/printcap
To print to a printer with a JetDirect:
juntonian|: :lp=juntonian.bemix%9100: :ifhp=model=hp8000: :filter=/usr/lib/ifhp/ifhp: :sd=/var/spool/lpd/%P:
- juntonian|: - specifies the queue on the server
- lp=juntonian.bemix%9100 - tells lpd to send the document to the address and port of the printer
- ifhp=model=hp8000 - tells lpd to use ifhp's filter for correct rendering of the document
- filter=/usr/lib/ifhp/ifhp - location of this filter file varies
- sd=/var/spool/lpd/%P - spooling directory
/etc/lprng/lpd.perms
To print from outside of localhost, you have to comment out the REJECT statements in this file
/etc/firehol/firehol.conf
need:
- Make lpd work from Athena (Athena has a setuid lpq/lpr and so will use ports < 1024)
- client_lpd_ports="any"
- Under internal NIC
- server lpd accept
- Under external NIC
server lpd accept server custom lpdcli "tcp/721:731" "default" accept server custom lpdsrv "tcp/515" "default" accept
- Under router wan2lan inface ...
- route lpd accept
