1. Edit the printcap file: An example of a typical entry in the printcap file is:
LaserPrinter:\
:lp=:\
:rm=XCD:\
:rp=BINARY_P1:\
:sd=/usr/spool/lpd/LaserPrinter:
"LaserPrinter" is the queuename.
"XCD" 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.
2. 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 com-
mand; for example:
mkdir /usr/spool/lpd/LaserPrinter
3. Print using the standard lpr command:
lpr –PLaserJet filename
4. For AT&T based UNIX systems, such as SCO, use the standard lp command:
lp –dLaserJet filename
