</p>
<p>
Add in Lpr-Servers:
Server: localhost
Queue Name: PARALLEL1
Datastream type: ps (postscript)
</p>
<p>
Save with Apply and as a file.
Add this file to:
/netstation/prodbase/configs/defaults.dft
</p>

Assumed is a cups printsystem.
You have to be root to administrate cups.
Within a webbrowser open the cups-setup (localhost:631).
In Administration -> Add Printer
Name your printer and give the device URI:
</p>
<p>
lpd://ppp.qqq.rrr.sss/PARALLEL1,
</p>
<p>
where ppp.qqq.rrr.sss = IP-adress of the Netstation.
