The following sections describe how to give specific lpd/lpr setup
instructions for various systems.
6-1-1 BSD System
This section describes how to set up a remote printer on the host that
sends jobs to the Network Card using printer resident lpd. This is
accomplished by adding an entry to the host’s
/etc/printcap
file for
each printer you use.
1.
Use an editor to open
/etc/printcap
.
2. Make entries that name the Network Card name as the remote
host, and assign any name to the remote printer.
The following is an example of typical printcap entries.
<printer name> :\
(Example: “lprprinter”)
:lp=:\
:rm= <remote host> :\
(Host name from
/etc/hosts
)
:rp=
<remote printer name>
:\
(Any name)
:sd=/usr/spool/lpd/ <printer name> :
(Specifies spool directory for where the system
can spool data and perform other spool control.)
This entry sends jobs spooled in /usr/spool/lpd/<printer name>
to the printer specified by <printer name> for printing by the
Network Card specified by <remote host>.
3. Create the spooling directory.
mkdir /usr/spool/lpd/ <printer name>
4. Use the lpr command to print something.
lpr -P <printer name> <file name>
Installation is complete if the file you specify prints correctly.
