Introduction
|
Linux has the ability to share a printer to all the computers on the network. This tutorial covers configuring the print server machine for this.
To configure the printer settings on the client Linux machines see Configuring a Remote Printer Using Red Hat's PrintTool.
To share a Linux printer to client Windows machines, see Sharing Linux Printer to a Windows Machine through Samba.

Configuring The Print Server
|
- Configure the printer to print on the print server first. See
- Configuring a Local Printer Using Red Hat's PrintTool for instructions.
- As root, create a file called
/etc/hosts.lpd with the hostname or IP address of each machine you want to grant print priviledges to on a separate line.
- As root, restart the
lpd daemon with the command /etc/rc.d/init.d/lpd restart.
- Test connection by printing from a client machine.
