what's the recommended way to print under linux?
I just installed "cups" from www.cups.org and seems to work ok
have redhat 7.0
laserjet printer on network using jetdirect card
installed latest rpm
rpm -i -f cups-blah-blah.rpm
very cool interface via web browser localhost:631
just figured out how to do:
lp -dprinter -ofp17 -ovsi6 file
in cups=
lp -dprinter -o cpi=18 -o lpi=8 file
what's even cooler is support for the options: -o number-up=1,2,4
which I don't think you can do under HPUX since there isn't support for PCL6(?) only PCL5(?)
the online docs are at
http://www.cups.org/sum.html#STANDARD_OPTIONS
before, I was using a hack to print - echo some escape sequences (PCL from model script on HP) + filename | netcat printer 9100

Cups is the New Standard for Unix Printing. Cups stands for Common Unix Printing Software.
Cups does a Fine job under Linux.
Have a Great Day!
