I have the smc 7004abr router.

it has a print server attached to it.

how do I get it to print?

the ip is 192.168.2.1

I have a hp laserjet 6l

here is the support listing at smc:

How do I configure Linux to use the printer? The Barricade provides Line Printer Daemon. Customers have to setup /etc/printcap and set the queue name to "LPT1". The following is an example for Red Hat Linux release 5.1:
You can also use the RedHat Printtool
# /etc/printcap
hp6p: :sd=/var/spool/lpd/hp6p: :rm=192.168.2.1: :rp=LPT1: :lp=/dev/null: :sh:
hp2100: :sd=/var/spool/lpd/hp2100: :rm=192.168.2.1: :rp=LPT1: :lp=/dev/null: :sh:

where do I input the que name?

after putting the info in the printcap file, what needs to be done next?

does printtool input the same info into the printcap file?

I am confused.
