Selecting a Management Method 3-3
1. Edit the /etc/hosts file: (or equivalent local host table). For example:
192.189.207.33 MonarchPrinter
2. Edit the printcap file: An example of a typical entry in the printcap file is:
MonarchPrinter:\
:lp=:\
:rm=MonarchPrinter:\
:rp=BINARY_P1:\
:sd=/usr/spool/lpd/MonarchPrinter:
"MonarchPrinter" is the queuename.
"MonarchPrinter" matches the name in the hosts file.
"BINARY_P1" is the print server's service name.
Note: Use TEXT_P1 instead of BINARY_P1 for text files.
"sd" is the spool directory.
3. Create the spool directory: The lpd spool directory is usually located in
the /usr/spool directory. To create a new spool directory, use the mkdir
command; for example:
mkdir /usr/spool/lpd/MonarchPrinter
4. Print using the standard lpr command:
lpr –PMonarchPrinter filename
5. For AT&T based UNIX systems, such as SCO, use the standard lp
command:
lp –dMonarchPrinter filename
