Hmm, I have used it, but from memory...


I think Red Hat 5.2 has the typical config file you want
modified located at ;

/etc/printcap

I think there is a ncurses utility much like the COAS
utility. Maybe try something called from the command line like;

printtool

[ I can't remember exactly, sorry TED ]

But, I'm thinkin' you may also be able to change the
settings from the /etc/lpd.conf file, right?
