Printing to a shared linux printer

When configuring OS X to print to a network printer (i.e. to a printer that is connected to a linux machine), you'll need to create a file /etc/hosts.lpd on the linux machine and add the hostname of your Mac in that file.

The hostname is the name you gave your computer in the Computer Name field on the Sharing tab of the Internet & Network system preferences.

[Editor's note: No linux box to test with here, so I can't vouch for this one...]
