This is incredibly easy. Rember MAC OS X is basically a “UNIX/LINUX” clone so lp the UNIX line printer requester is built in. This is also known as IPP or TCP printing. So now you have the client side all you need is the server side. Go to YAST and click on Network Services | Network Services |inetd | Enable printer stream tcp service. Note, you must highlight it and click on it to toggle it on. This service is also known as lpd or Line Printer Daemon. Now go back to your MAC and add an IPP printer. Pick the IP address of your Linux host by name or spelled out by IP address. Say ok and you are done.
