raw queue with usb printer (-v option in lpadmin command)
Hello!
here is a silly newbie question:
I want to set up a print queue (raw) on a linux box (rh9) to print at a printer connected to the usb port.
For a parallel printer I'd issue the following commnad:
lpadmin -p hplj5mp -v parallel:/dev/lp0 -E
The question is what I must put after the -v for a usb printer.
Any help will be most appreciate.
