Thanks to everyone who responded to my enquiries, the response was
excellent, all ideas pointed to the same general direction.
i.e
1. Setup printer alias in /etc/hosts using IP address allocated (note
some contributed suggested using bootpad entry for dynamic IP
address allocation).
2. Run lpr setup and select remote as printer type, enter
rm=printer alias (raw IP addr acceptable)
rp=text or raw (depending on whether you want text or Postscript
printing)
3. Filters can be used at one's own discretion.
Got the bugger going in 5 minutes, thanks for all the sample /etc/printcap
files sent to me, but I spent the rest of the day loading paper into the
printer as I printed my own much needed copy of the DU manuals, with my
colleagues cursing and swearing at me.
Special thanks to the following Gurus.
