[SATLUG] Printing on home network

[Karl.Kutac at siriuscom.com]

Hi. More newbie admin questions. I have a desktop RH7.3 box attached to an
SMC Barricade router (and the router is attached to the RoadRunner cable
modem). My printer, an NEC 950C (inkjet) is attached to the router, too. A
common enough arrangement, I'm sure. Question: how do I configure
printconf, or printtool? It would be a remote printer, yes? Yet when I put
in the IP address of the router, it doesn't print. Is anyone familiar with
the SMC Barricade vis a vis Linux? Is there a specific virtual server port
that needs to be set up? What confuses me more than anything is that there
can't be any queue on a router, so surely print jobs need to be sent to my
desktop machine, so that lpd can handle it; how will the lpd know where to
send the print jobs?
(btw, can't directly attach printer via lpt0 because two other computers
live on the network, a w98 box and at times a laptop running either RH or
win2k.)
