Method to setup network printer (hp laserjet 1300)
Well after playing around with both rlpconf and the GUI I found neither of these would work. I checked the hosts and printcap file and it was placing the entries after running the programs but the printer would not print correctly. There was a huge delay on print jobs (ie over 2 minutes at...- Torpid

Method to setup network printer (hp laserjet 1300)
Great so I am on the right track. I didn't want to use the GUI if it didn't edit the printcap file entries automatically. It's nice to know that I can use either rlpconf or scoadmin printer and do the same job. I am aware that I may still need to edit the printcap file with the mx:0 option...- Torpid

Method to setup network printer (hp laserjet 1300)
I read this from another post, is this all that I need to do? You have to know if the PrintServer embedded in your network printer supports LPR/LPD protocol, and then the name of the job queue. Next step is to create remote printer with scoadmin: Host=Name of the printer in /etc/hosts...- Torpid

Method to setup network printer (hp laserjet 1300)
Oh and btw searching for rlpconf and netgear brings up this thread and no others. I'll just keep browsing with scoadmin printer and rlpconf alone and see what I come up with. I haven't seen that many posts regarding netgear print servers, especially the PS101 :( I should just have the person...- Torpid

Method to setup network printer (hp laserjet 1300)
So I guess I was right then if the netgear requires LPD printing then I should add to the /etc/hosts then edit the printcap file? No need for rlpconf at all? Or in the latest version of Openserver will rlpconf be all that I need? Or since it is the latest maybe all I need is to use the GUI of...- Torpid

Method to setup network printer (hp laserjet 1300)
I am currently looking through the threads trying to figure out how to best setup a network printer (hp laserjet 1100 or 1300) connected via a print server (netgear ps101). I was told that the OS version was SCO Openserver 5.4.3 but will check with uname -x once onsite. I checked netgear site...- Torpid
