CHAPTER 1 UNIX PRINTING
1-11
If you have not created a spool directory for the Brother print server on your UNIX
host computer, you will need to do so now (the printer setup utilities in HP/UX, AIX,
Solaris 2.xx, and other systems will automatically create the spool directory). The
lpd spool directory is usually located in the /usr/spool directory (check with your
system manager to see if the location is different for your system). To create a new
spool directory, use the mkdir command. For example, to create a spool directory for
the queue laser1, you would enter:
mkdir /usr/spool/lpd/laser1
On some systems it is also necessary to start the daemon. This is done on Berkeley-
compatible UNIX systems with the lpc start command as shown in the following
example:
lpc start laser1
