Hello all. I've been a linux user for quite some time. But haven't do printing until now.
I just wanna ask how to do printing in linux?

I have researched a bit on it. I found some $> echo "print me" > /dev/lp0, but unfortunately, I have no lp0 in my /dev.
I don't know if this is the right thing to do.

Nevertheless, please tell me of ways on how I can print from my linux box.
Here are some details:

  • OS: debian linux 5.0.4

  • printer: disclosed until it is necessary

  • connection: usb connection

So do i need to add a printer first? From the printer manual that I read, this printer model has no linux driver.
