CHAPTER 1 UNIX PRINTING 

1-6

 

 
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: 
 

1.  From the Linux Printer System Manager screen, click the "Add" button. 
2.  You will now be asked to specify which Printer type you are using, 

select the "Remote Unix (lpd) Queue" option and click "OK". 

3.  You must now specify the remote host name, remote queue name and 

the input filter to use. 

4.  The "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. 

5.  The "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".   

6.  Select 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.
