1. Help installing a network printer on RH 6.1

Hi,

I'm hoping you could give me a hand with setting up a
printer through the local network. That is, I have
three machines with RedHat 6.1, all of them connected
in a local network. I have a printer attached to one
of the machines, and want to make it available to the
other machines.

Sounds pretty easy, but it's not working!

I use printtool in one of the machines that don't have
the printer attached, I click on ADD, then select
"Network Printer". It asks me the remote host's IP
(no problem with that, I just put 192.168.0.1 -- the
machine with the printer), and the remote queue.

I assumed that in there, I should put the name of the
printer when I installed it. So I did. I wrote
lpHPLJ5 (that's the name of the printer -- i.e.,
I would print text files with the command:

% lpr -PlpHPLJ5 text_file.txt

(from the machine with the printer, of course)

Is that what I was supposed to do?? I did that, it
didn't complain, but it doesn't work.

I called the printer lpHP in the machine where I
set up the network printer. So, I issue the command:

% lpr -PlpHP text_file.txt

And I should expect that file to be sent to the
printer lpHPLJ5 in the other machine. Am I on the
right track?

Any hints?

Thanks a bunch!

Carlos
