In the lts.conf file there is a little blip on how to do what you are
hoping for
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
# Example of a parallel printer attached to /dev/lp0 on workstation ws001
#
#[ws001]
# PRINTER_0_DEVICE = /dev/lp0
# PRINTER_0_TYPE = P # P-Parallel, S-Serial
When ws001 boots up it is now a jetdirect server sharing the printer
connected to the parallel port. From there you add it as a printer
like you would any other jetdirect connected printer. There are other
options you can do like flow control etc, but I've found those two lines
are all you need.
I have 2 or 3 printers right now hooked up to thin client jet direct
boxes and they work great.
