[NTLUG:Discuss] Linux printer set up?

[Harry Burford]

I have a Laserjet 5si on an ethernet network.  I'm able to set up this 
printer for Linux (RH) OK by using it's IP address and port 9100.   I 
then use Samba to share this device with Windows clients on the 
network.  Everything was easy to set up and works well.

I also have a Xerox high speed printer on the network that is 
controlled by a Sun workstation.  I know it's IP address, but have not 
been able to get anything to work.  I'm confident the printer is all 
set up and working OK.  I know that this printer was driven by a Linux 
server in the past.  I just can't figure out what is so unique about it 
that I can't talk to it with my Linux system.

I'm relatively new to Linux so I'm sure it is something simple.   
Anyone have some tips?
