hi gurus !!!

I'm badly stuck up with the following printing problem..... Can anyone 
please help me out of this ....

i wanna configure  two network printers ( casper - IP address 129.146.127.11 
, and cbc printer IP address 129.146.123.12 ) onto my server eprod9 - IP 
address 120.146.127.89. i.e this server shd act as print server for these 
printers & anyone who needs to print on these printers will be able to do so 
... eprod9 being the print server.

Currently these printers are on a different old print server which has the 
drivers loaded for them. Now i have to shift these printers from the old 
server to this new one, but for that i don't have the drivers.

looking up from frm the docs i could somewhat manage to configure it in the 
foll steps:

# lpadmin -p casper1 -v /dev/null
# lpadmin -p casper1 -i /usr/lib/lp/model/netstandard
# lpadmin -p casper1 -o dest=nimquat:9100 -o
protocol=tcp -o timeout=5
# lpadmin -p casper1 -I any -T unknown

after this when i give the print, i do get the printout, but the formatting 
goes haywire. The old server is running 2.5.1 & the new one is 2.7.

Have i done the right thing? what else is required for me to do?

thanks a lot guys, in advance ....It sure feels good to have u around.
