Printing in Linux

Printing in Linux

[Eduardo Frias]

Hi!

I do not know anything about printing with Linux . My problem is that I
have 5 printers ( all of them have integrated NIC's ( network cards ) and
connect directly to the LAN. 

What I want to do is to have one central Linux Server
which will have all the queues associated with the printers, so
when I configured the winbugs machines I just select a queue so all the
connections go to the Linux machine and the linux machine will spool the
printing. At this moment I do this with a Novell Server, but I want to
migrate to LINUX, is it possible to do this? Any suggestions, experiences
or documentation to read?

As always thanks for your help! that has always help me a lot!

eduardo ,
you have to read the Linux-printing-HOWTO .
If you have apsfilter in your system you can try to configure the printer(s)
with this one  .
In Slackware you can find in /usr/lib/apsfiter/SETUP .
You can find documentation on line at www.tldp.org.

Ciao

David
