TITLE: Printing on LFS LFS VERSION: any AUTHOR: Fabio Fracassi SYNOPSIS: Short Guide, on how to set up a Spooler & Printing System on LFS HINT: This is just a short Hint, on how I got it working, basically it includes only the compile and some configuration options I used. My installation is far from perfect, so I would appreciate any update from your side. You can check http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Printing-HOWTO/index.html for more help. I hope this helps nevertheless.
