I don't know, but you might have to include a port to print to on that. I
use JetDirect printer hubs.
shipping1|shipping1:\
:lp=:\
:rm=216.120.87.7:\
:rp=raw1:\
:sh=true:\
:lf=/dev/null:\
:sd=/var/spool/output/shipping1:
There's one of my entries. raw1 is the first port on my 3 port hub, and
it's raw meaning unfiltered so my Windows boxen can using their
drivers/protocol. There are two other types of ports, like text1 or
something, but I don't remember what they are. Hope this helps.
