How do I configure a network printer


Run lpsystem setting the type to bsd.

    # lpsystem -tbsd -T0 -R0 -y "network printer" netprintername

Shut down the lp service.

    # /usr/sbin/lpshut

Setup printers where netprintername is the same one used above.

    # lpadmin -p netprintername -v /dev/null -T dumb -I simple,postscript -m hp.ps.net

NOTE: hp.ps.net is a model script located in /etc/lp/model

Start the LP Scheduler then run accept and enable on the printer.

    # /usr/lib/lp/lpsched

    # accept netprintername

    # enable netprintername


For more information see lpsystem(1M), lpadmin(1M), lpshut(1M),
lpsched(1M), accept(1M) and enable(1M).
