This is for a printer that understands lpd protocol natively,
and it presumes that you will send it only languages that it
understands natively. (This one happens to be smart enough
to handle -- at least -- both plain text and PostScript; if
you want to "lpr textfile" to a PostScript-only printer you'll
need some filters.)
lp|Samsung ML-2571N PostScript network printer:\
:sh:\
:rm=ml2571n:sd=/var/spool/output/ml2571n:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:
You also need to map the name to an IP address in /etc/hosts,
something like this
192.168.200.201 ml2571n
or in DNS.
