Hi there

I am new to Linux - just installed it yesterday.

I have a question regarding a print server I have: a D-Link DP-300U.

In the "GNOME Print Manager" in Linux I have tried to set up access
to a printer on the print server by specifying:
queue type = Networked UNIX (LPD)
server = 192.168.1.4
queue = PS-0F5915-P1

These settings I figured out more or less by trial and error. And I can
print, so I guess it's ok.

But, the "server" address I supplied is hardcoded in my setup, whereas in
reality the print server is dynamically assigned an IP address, which
theoretically could change (in which case I could no longer print).

How can I specify to the Linux print manager that it should search for the
print server? Is there a "name" or something I should use? Or maybe my
router's address?

Thanks for any advice,
Peter
