Establish the Printer on the Host Computer
You can print documents to the Silentwriter with either
the
lpr or ftp command. Once the /etc/hosts file
contains the IP address and name of your Silentwriter,
you may use
ftp to print documents. If you wish to use
the lpr command you must
1. Add the Silentwriter to the /etc/printcap files
2. Set up remote printing
Add the Silentwriter to the /etc/printcap File
The printcap file entry has the following form
<host name>:\
:lp=:rm=<host name>:rp=<filter>:
sd=<spool dir>:
<host name> is the name defined in the /etc/hosts
file.
<filter> is one of the following filters:
lpb: No filtering. Use for binary files.
lpa: Change LF to CR+LF. Converts the LF line-feed
code (0A) to CR+LF (0D0A).
lpbf: lpb+FF. Adds the FF code (0C) to the end of
the file.
lpaf: lpa+FF. Converts the LF into CR+LF and adds
the FF code (0C) to the end of the file.
The default filter is lpb but for most print requests you
should use lpa or lpaf to ensure correct formatting for
the output.
An example printcap file entry is shown below.
NP015626:\
:lp=:rm=11.22.33.26:rp=lpaf:sd=/usr/
spool/lpd/NP015626:
Everything after the “\” appears on the same line with
no spaces.
Set Up Remote Printing
Execute the following commands to make a directory
for the spooler and enable remote printing.
mkdir /usr/spool/lpd/<printer>
lpsystem -t bsd <host name>
lpadmin -p <printer> -s <host name>
accept <printer>
enable <printer>
The host name can be the same as the printer name.
For example,
mkdir /usr/spool/lpd/NP015626
lpsystem -t bsd NP015626
lpadmin -p NP015626 -s NP015626
accept NP015626
enable NP015626
