This article will give you the basics on how printers work, how to configure them, and how to maintain them with command line options.
Several different environments are packaged with Redhat 9.0 Linux. Keep in mind that most flavors of UNIX have a GUI printer administration tool. I will point out some of the differences in commands throughout the article. A good idea is to take a look at the main page for the various command lines to examine and choose the proper options. Each flavor of UNIX has slightly different command lines, and some UNIX flavors are not yet using CUPS, so the commands can be very different.
This article is based on command lines available in RedHat Linux 9.0, the latest release available. The most effective way, although not always the easiest, is using Linux print utilities. However, if you want to use your Linux server as a print server, you can do that too. Some network administrators even use it in conjunction with Samba to create file servers that Windows workstations can access as easily as Windows NT/2000 file servers. Everyone knows that Linux makes a great Web server.
