I didn't have parallel printer character support compiled into the |
35 |
kernel. It works now, but how do I print from a remote computer? I've |
36 |
set up the security on the host that has the printer hooked up to it, |
37 |
but how do I configure remote hosts running Linux so that they know |
38 |
about it? |
