printing over the network

[Chris Aitken]

I'm trying to print over the network (both machines are rh 7.3) for the
first time.

I used printtool and chose 'UNIX printer' (instead of the usual 'local')
which prompts for 'Server' into which I entered 192.168.0.1,
as I don't have any name resolution on the network yet.

I left 'Queue' blank as printtool advised that it would just use the
default print queue on the server.

I was excited when I heard the printer in the other room pulling a piece
of paper from the tray.

It's just gobbledy gook on the pages - just a line or two at the top of
God-knows-how-many-pages
if I didn't kill the print job. I did lpq -P [printername] then lprm
[job name] to end the job:

lpq -P hpdeskjet
lprm 159

The DeskJet 692C works fine locally on the 'Server' (as printtool refers
to it). I chose the same print driver
at the remote machine as the 'server' - HP > Deskjet 692c > hpijs.

Any ideas?

Chris
