Subject: [netatalk-admins] Using lpdaemon on the Printer port

I originally sent this out over Christmas, but didn't get any response
(it must have been the season) so I'm asking again.
I need to use lpdaemon, to talk to a HP Deskjet connected to my Mac
but I don't know the correct settings for a printer connected to the
printer port. I know this is a little outside scope of this list, but
can anyone suggest the right settings (or a better contact for me)? The
sample config file says (for a serial printer):
PRINTER <name1> SERIAL <name2> [baud stop parity bits]
<name1> is the spool queue, but <name2> is the name of the serial driver,
which I don't know, and the "[baud ...]" I wouldn't have thought I needed
for the printer port. After all, isn't it a parallel port of some sort.
(I come from a Unix and PC background, so I don't know much about the low
level stuff of the Mac, it works so I don't normally play with it. :-))
