5.2.2 LPR on UNIX Hosts
The Berkeley remote printing system is supported on many machines, and is simple to
configure. This section describes how to configure LPR print queues on generic UNIX
hosts such as SUN hosts. There are slight variations in LPR configuration for AIX, HP, and
SCO hosts, as will be explained in the following sections.
1
Install a print queue on your host by adding the Terminal Server name and IP address
to the
/etc/hosts
file:
Figure 5-6:
Adding /etc/hosts Entry
2
Add the host print queue to the /etc/printcap file. The punctuation shown in Figure
5-7 is required, and no extra spaces should be added.

Adding /etc/printcap Entry
This will create a host queue named les_prt. The rm parameter is the name of the
Terminal Server in the host's address file, the rp parameter is the name of the service
as it exists on the Terminal Server, and the sd parameter specifies the name of a di-
rectory used to hold temporary spooling files.
