I downloaded a copy of the adm64 7.2r DVD iso and
an 'empty' VMware VM config a 25gb virtual ide disk
with bridged networking. I was able to install from the
ISO and then do a portsnap to install current ports collection.
I installed the nano port because vi is to arcane for me .
I have a Brother HL-5250-DN networked mono laser printer
that understands IPP and LPR protoco ls. Windows can print
to it with it's LPR as 'lpr -P <ip address> filename'.
I tried that from a root login and the console said /dev/lp
was missing. I defined a remote printer in printcap but it still
just spools and the daemon is waiting for the device to come ready?
do I have to use cups to print on a ip printer?
Thanks
