Access the printer connected to router..

[Edmond]

Hi,
My printer is connected to the router so that several PCs can share a
printer and the internet connection
in windows, i have to install a driver for the print server of the router
then in LINUX, what can i do in order to use the printer?

thanks!

The router should have an IP address like 192.168.123.254 port 9100
(hopefully you have changed from this default IP for the router)

You set your linux printing service to use that address to print;

scroll down to the System Administration Printing-HOWTO

Be sure to configure for your printer attached to the router.

Check your CD to see if there are any instructions for using it with LPR
type printing, because there are certainly none on that website (appears
to be Windows only, with their special driver).

My Linksys switch/printserver did not specifically support Unix, but I got
a clue from the LPR printing for NT, before I noticed that they have docs
on the CD for Unix and Linux. For my SMC wireless router/printserver I
got a clue about the print queue name from docs for LPR printing from XP.
