CUPS supports printer
instances, which allows each printer to have several sets of options. If the remote CUPS
printer is configured this way, you are able to choose a particular path to a printer, such
as hp/300dpi or hp/1200dpi. A slash character separates the print queue name from
the printer instance.
Complete the rest of the procedure as you would for a local printer (see the section ???Adding a
Local Printer in Fedora??? earlier in this chapter).
Adding a Remote UNIX Printer
If you chose to add a UNIX printer (LPD/LPR) from the Printer Configuration window, you must
add the following information to the window that appears:
Host name??”Hostname of the computer to which the printer is attached (or otherwise
accessible). This is the IP address or TCP/IP name for the computer (the TCP/IP name
is accessible from your /etc/hosts file or through a DNS name server).
Printer name??”Printer name on the remote UNIX computer.
Complete the rest of the procedure as you would for a local printer (see the ???Adding a Local Printer
in Fedora??? section earlier in this chapter).
If the print job you send to test the printer is rejected, the print server computer may
not have allowed you access to the printer. Ask the remote computer??™s administrator to
add your hostname to the /etc/lpd.
