[NTLUG:Discuss] lpr with USB printer

[Fred James]

Tom Hayden
I am new to Debian - attempted 1st install last night - so I am not sure 
what is there but 
<http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Config-HOWTO/x43.html#AEN298> section 2.17 : 
"Printer Configuration (lpd)" was a link from www.debian.org

Maybe that will help
Regards
Fred James
