Linux:

Use either lpd or cups through print.astro.illinois.edu

To setup a single queue:

lpadmin -p printer_name -v http://print.astro.illinois.edu:631/printers/queue_name -E

where printer_name is what you want to call your local print queue, and queue_name is the printer queue you want to print to (e.g. 204_bw)

Easy CUPS config to setup all queues:

Make sure cups is installed on your Linux install.

In the file /etc/cups/client.conf put the following:
