I have a HP LaserJet 9000N hooked up to the network and configured.
works just fine from FreeBSD shell.
Now I would prefer to setup a FreeBSD print server.
I have read the howto's, but to be honest with apsfilter, magicfilter, cups, lpd, gutenbergprint, hplip, I believe I am getting things confused.
I have been able print using lpd() and /etc/printcap from different machines pointing back to my FreeBSD print server. But I haven't been able to print from different trays.
I prefer not to use CUPS, as I have just PostScript printers on the network (my understanding is that cups excels in the non-PostScript space).
So, what is the recommend method or if there are many recommended methods: what is your recommended method?
Thanks,
Bill
