Configuring a Remote Printer for the Red Hot Linux 7.x Operating System
1. Open the “/etc/hosts” file as root user in a Terminal windows.
2. Add the IP address and the Printer Name information.
Here is an example of an “/etc/hosts” file:

7. Insert the local spool directory (where the print jobs for the Unix computer are to be placed) in the “Queue” or
“Spool Directory” box.
8. Select text only in the “Printer Driver” box. Set up the configuration you want and then click OK button.
9. Click File ->Save Changes in the “printconf-gui” window.

If the print job is rejected when it is sent to test the printer, ask the remote computer’s
administrator to check permission in the “/etc/lpd.perms” file
