CHAPTER 12 UNIX PRINTING

Other Systems
Other systems use similar programs to set up Print / Fax servers. These programs
will generally ask for the following information:
Requested information: You should use:
remote printer Binary or Text service name
remote host computer name Any name (must match the name in the
printcap file, if any) or in some cases,
you may enter the Print / Fax server IP
address here
remote host IP address IP address of Print / Fax server.
Technical support specialists for these companies can usually answer
configuration questions if you provide them with the equivalent UNIX
configuration information (tell them that the Print / Fax server looks like a
remote UNIX host computer running the lpd line printer daemon).
If you have not created a spool directory for the Brother Print / Fax 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
