If
lpd
is supported, proceed as follows:
1
On your host, check to see if an error log exists. If not, create
it. Then edit the
/etc/printcap
file to contain an entry similar
to the following:
X R X _ P C L | X e r o x 4 5 0 5 | X N I O p o r t : \
: l p = : \
: r m =
n o d e _ n a m e : \
: r p =
q u e u e _ n a m e : \
: m x # 0 : \
: l f = / u s r / s p o o l / l p d / e r r o r l o g : \
: s d = / u s r / s p o o l / l p d / x r x _ p c l :
where
X R X _ P C L
is the printer name,
n o d e _ n a m e
is the
machine name for the remote printer, and
q u e u e _ n a m e
is
the queue name. Valid queue names are:
TEXT - Adds a carriage return after each linefeed in the
file. Use this queue for standard document files.
PASSTHRU - Passes the file directly to the printer without
modification. Use this queue for binary files such as
PostScript, PCL, and HPGL, as well as screen dumps and
graphics.
If the TEXT queue is used, PostScript and HPGL files
cannot be sent using this entry. However, a second
printer definition can be used for PostScript and/or
HPGL files.
2
Create the spooling directory. For example:
m k d i r / u s r / s p o o l / l p d / x r x _ p c l
