I just set up a new HP LaserJet 2100TN last night. I wasted too much time
assuming that it would be difficult to get going on Linux. I got it working
fine with my Yellow Dog system when I simply treated the printer like it
was attached to another Linux box.
I opened the printer configuration in the "control-panel" as root. I then
set up a new Remote Linux (lpd) Queue Entry:
Name: DeskJet (can be anything)
Remote Host: 192.168.0.1 (whatever your printer is set to)
Remote Queue: DeskJet
I selected the "HP LaserJet 4 - dithered" input filter using the "Select"
button.
It works great. I don't have all the configurability that HP's remote admin
apps give Macintosh and Windows users, but the output looks great to me.
