I have a Zebra 2844 label printer. I set it up the way I normally do for all printers with printcap. p54|Zebra LP2844 - Shipping Labels:\ :sh:\ :rm=10.0.0.31:\ :sd=/var/spool/output/lpd/p54:\ :rp=portlf1: This wouldn't work however. So I tried to print directly to the ip address. That works fine but only if you have bidirectional enabled in the windows print driver. I'm not sure what to do since once windows has handed the job off to samba and it's sitting in the queue there's nothing more to do. Can't lpd somehow provide the "bidirectional" support to this printer?
