CUPS & Print servers
Authored by: schreib on Sep 29, '02 11:12:04PM

I figured out how to print to a printer attached to a SMC Barricade 7004ABR through CUPS from Mac OS X 10.2.

Go to Print Center, select Add New Printer, select IP Printing, enter the appropriate IP to the Printer's Address box, uncheck Use Default Queue on Server, in the Queue Name box type LPT1, then select the correct printer model (whether it is one of Apple's included drivers or one added by Gimp-Print).

It turns out that the Linux instructions were not what helped me figure this out but rather the Windows 2000 and XP instructions. The direct-to-IP printing on Windows requires the same type of configuration.

I have not tested this extensively, but it has worked with both Word v.X and Preview. One thing I have noticed is that it prints an extra blank sheet plus a job banner sheet with my userid at the end of the job. I would like to figure out how to get rid of that.
