Choose Jetdirect/Appsocket in the printer add menu and it will do the same thing.
There is nothing magic about netcat. You are just dumping Postscript/PDF data on a TCP port the printer is listening on.
- r3trohack3r 5y agoOh fascinating. If I use the system dialogue, I can choose the application to print to. There is an `lpr` option, and I can specify the application it invokes in a "Command Line" field. I can put `nc [printer_ip] 9100` there and it will just print. I just printed your comment this way. That's cool! Thank you for teaching me something!
