new ppd driver file

[Unix Administrator_5]

I have use the okiibm.ppd that I created on the linuxprinting.org site.

I am unsure how to install it. I am running
cups and Redhat 3.0 AS.

Any hellp would be appreciated.

Hello Unix Administrator,
Use the lpadmin command to install a printer with a particular ppd file. Here is an example:
lpadmin -p -v ipp://printer.example.com:631 -m

Another more "graphical" method : place your ppd file (gzipped) somewhere under /usr/share/cups/modelConnect to the CUPS admin server in your favorite browser (preferably from the CUPS server itself) :http://localhost:631Instead of the web browser method, you can also use the Red Hat configuration tool, but sometimes it is not installed by default :redhat-config-printer-guiGood luck.Kodjo
