I have repackaged the Debian LPRNG (BSD LPR, NG is Next Generation IIRC) for OS2007 (startup scripts adjusted, documentation stripped off, installation/de-installation scripts modified, and some other stuff).
(To find the lprng package: Link at bottom of posting)
So, what is this?
- If "yes" to most of the above, then the lprng package may be for you. It's a simple install, just one debian package with no external dependencies.
- If "no" to most of the above, and in particular if you really need full local filter support in order to print any type of file (because your network printer doesn't support this already), then you should instead look at the CUPS system provided by Penguinbait. (Not that the same type of filters couldn't be installed along with lprng, but I include none in this package.)
So, how to set it up?192.168.2.10 mypc remotehost
Lastly, here is the example /etc/printcap the lprng package for OS2007 comes with:
Please let me know of any problems. I have used it for only a few hours after I finished my adjust/repackage cycle, and it works for me. Install/de-install seems to work ok too, but I may have overlooked something yet of course.
Oh, and because LPR, LPRNG (this package) and CUPS all use the same commands (e.g. /usr/bin/lpr) then this package conflicts with the others and can't be installed at the same time.
Here is the link to the current package. If you open the following link you should find lprng_3.8.28dfsg.1-1.1_armel.deb there:
