hp lj 1320 and old lpr

[Luca Ferrari]

Hi,
I've got a new lj 1320 with the embedded jetdirect, and I was wondering if 
it's possible to print from an old linux version (red hat 6.2), but even 
configuring the printer through the printtool, and even if I don't have any 
error message, the printer does not work. Of course it works with newever 
versions, like suse 9, but I'd like to make it running with the old server, 
so any idea about what to do? (I'm using lpd).

Thanks,
Luca

You might need a special prnter driver. It's possible that suse 9 has this
driver but redhat 6.2 doesn't (since it is older). It might also be that only
cups supports this printer but lpd doesn't, in which case you need to install
cups on the older system.
