install the cups package
chmod +x /etc/rc.d/rc.cups
/etc/rc.d/rc.cups start

and open a web browser with http://127.0.0.1:631

that should get you started.

apsfilter works great for this. Just make sure you can resolve the
printer's hostname (/etc/hosts is fine) and cd to /usr/share/apsfilter.
- From there, run ./SETUP and follow the directions.

First of all, stop top-posting, it's rude and not welcome in this and
most other newsgroups (particularly technical ones) as it breaks the
flow of the conversation.

Well, why don't you actually try to set one up instead of balking
immediately upon seeing this screen? The steps are even numbered in the
order you need to do them.

1) Select your pritner driver.
2) Select your interface (guess what interface you need to use? network!)
3) Select paper format
etc.

If you can't step out on your own just a bit you're not going to get
very far.

My suggestion is to run the apsfilter setup script and then to edit (if
necessary) the resulting /etc/printcap file. Of course, this predisposes
that one is going to use lprng.

Pgp trash is rude and unwelcome in this and most other newsgroups.
Your use of pgp trash along with your top-posting flames are
typical of the reasons why you are despised in this ng, Hicks.
