Anyone know how to speak lpd ? Basically, we've just gotten a great big
feck-off printer (canon GP-335). And, it's "lpd enabled". I know the
printer name...what else do I need to know ?
When I tried to print a test page, I got;
bartender [0] lpq
Printer: printer1 at domain bartender (dest printer1 at domain printer1)
Queue: 1 printable job
Server: pid 3080 active
Unspooler: pid 3140 active
Status: attempt 3, sleeping 20 before retry at 17:10:21.039

no entries
So, it looks like redhat's printtool assumes that if you don't give a
print queue name it defaults to the printer name. Anyway. Is "lpd" a text
type thing like SMTP/IMAP etc ?
