My HP Color LaserJet CP1514n is networked by the router connected to
my Iyonix OS 5.16 using Stefan Ballon's RemotePrinterFS but using:
RemotePrinterFS#proto=LPD;address=10.0.0.11;queue=PS;buffer=yes:
The 10.0.0.11 is the address that I fixed to the printer from the
printer's menu screen to avoid my Packard Bell machine confusing
itself on start up.
This works perfectly with Postscript 2 and upgraded Postscript 3.
The only problem I had was mono printing at the start but then
discovered the colour option in !Printers "shift-click" control panel
not being ticked.
I must admit being somewhat thinking networking being a dark art but
really is a logical address allocation system.
