Add printer to /lib/ndb/local sys=okidr ip=192.168.2.191 okidr=Name for the printer ip= IP Address of the printer check with: ip/ping okidr 2. Add printer entry to /sys/lib/lp/devices oki2 office okidr raw - post2+600dpi+nohead generic lpdspool lpd - - FIFO 3. Check lp -q -doki2 (this works only as user bootes on my system) It should show you: transmission log: : 100.00% sent 9232 bytes sent, status: waiting for end of job 9232 bytes sent, status: end of job printer queue: connecting to tcp!okidr!printer trying from port 721...connected Ready no entires 4.
