5. “Is this printer PostScript?”
Type yes or no and press .
6. The script creates a printcap entry for the printer just config-
ured. The screen displays the entry and asks if you want the
script to append it to your /etc/printcap file. See below for a
sample printcap file. Type
yes or no and press . If you type
no, you may perform manual edits.
In your /etc/printcap file, be sure not to change the name of the
device given NIC in Step 2. You must reference the same lp:
entry you wrote on the lp command line of the printcap file.
For example:
<printer_name> | NIC printer:\
:lp=/dev/<printer_name>:\
:if=/usr/nic/infilter:\
:sd=/usr/spool/<printer_name>:
All printcap entries must be prefaced with a tab except for
the entry on the first line.
7. The script creates a spool directory in /usr/spool and starts the
daemon for the newly configured printer. It also displays the
path used if you ever need to restart the daemon. For example:
/usr/nic/lpr_print /dev/nic/<printer_name>
printfast 10001 &
8. Run the ps command so that you can view all your lpd pro-
cesses. Type:
#ps -ax | grep lpd
9. Kill all of your lpd processes. Type:
#kill -9 <Process ID>
(this will stop ALL printing).
10. Restart the daemon. Type:
#/usr/lib/lpd
