The first line of the field is the name of the printer. You use this name when
logging on to a network printer from a workstation. You can define several
different names by separating each name with the “|” character.
❒
The second, and the following lines, contain the printer's attributes. At-
tributes of the printer are represented by two character names referred to
as capabilities. For more information about capabilities, see the following
table.

Making the spool directory
Create a spool directory under /var/spool/lpd. The name of spool directory
should be the name of the printer followed by a “d”.
Note
❒
The spool directory is used to control the data used for a print job. For ex-
ample, when a print job is created, a temporary copy of the file data used
for printing is created in the spool directory. All workstations accessing the
network printer need to have a spool directory for the network printer.
❒
A spool directory should be made for every network printer entry listed in
the /etc/printcap file.
❒
The spool directory should normally be made under /var/spool/lpd and
the name should match that listed under the sd capability in /etc/print-
cap. Change the owner and group of the directory to root and lp. The fol-
lowing examples show how to make a /var/spool/lpd/npd spool
directory.
# cd /var/spool/lpd
# mkdir npd
# chown root np
# chgrp lp np
