That is, unless you have a CUPS queue on your Linux machine, in which case you bypass lpd all together.

CUPS

CUPS is nice!!!
I did not have to configure OS X at all for printing. It goes out all by itself and finds the CUPS server on the Linux box and adds the printer(s) I defined on Linux to OS X. Sweet. I have the GIMP print filters installed for my printer on the Linux box. This means I can print to a LaserJet 6L which is not a postscript printer.

re: Printing to a shared Linux printer

The hint provided above does work for a Mac running Jaguar and a Linux print server running RedHat 8.0, with the following enhancement:

To have LPRng use /etc/hosts.lpd for determining what clients have permission to submit jobs to the Linux printer queue(s), the following line must be added to /etc/lpd.perms:

ACCEPT SERVICE=X REMOTEHOST</etc/hosts.lpd.

Make sure this line appears before the "REJECT SERVICE=X" line in lpd.perms.
