local printer (parallel and/or serial)

a daemon lp_server will run on the terminal that has a printer attached to emulate a jetdirect interface (so the printer will be a network printer, i.e. formatted output from programs is sent to the terminal and lp_server will forward it to the printer).
you can set up such a printer on the server as a network printer (direct tcp socket with cups). lp_server is waiting for connections on tcp port 9100 by default.
with cups running in the same subnet you can address the terminal printer
using the URI "socket://hostname:9100"

of course, you have to configure the cups printer driver as usual.
when using CUPS web interface to add a printer, choose AppSocket/HP JetDirect as printer type.

Note: the terminal must have a hostname, "default" will not work.

install the package lp-server in the terminals chroot and copy the files out of local_dev.tar.gz (both under "Files" in the menu at the right upper corner of this page). the terminal named "turtle" is configured to have a printer attached; if you won't change the file lessdisks-session, be sure do place only one entry in the line starting with "session"

good luck
