Other OSes may +offer you one, but mandrake offers three. + +pdq--which means print, don't queue, is the choice if you have a direct +connection to your printer and you want to be able to panic out of printer +jams, and you do not have any networked printers. It will handle only +very simple network cases and is somewhat slow for networks. Pick pdq +if this is your maiden voyage to linux. You can change your choices +after install by running printerdrake from the Control Center and +clicking the expert button. + +CUPS--Common Unix Printing System is excellent at printing to your local +printer and also halfway round the planet. It is simple and can act like +a server or a client for the ancient lpd printing system, so it is +compatible with the systems that went before. It can do many tricks, +but the basic setup is almost as easy as pdq. If you need this to emulate +an lpd server, you must turn on the cups-lpd daemon. It has graphical +front-ends for printing or choosing printer options. + +lprNG--line printer daemon New Generation--this system can do approximately +the same things the others can do, but it will print to printers mounted +on a Novell Network, because it supports IPX protocol, and it can print +directly to shell commands. If you have need of Novell or printing to +commands without using a separate pipe construct, use lprNG. Otherwise, +CUPS is preferable as it is simpler and better at working over networks."), + ); |
