Configuring the Printer by Editing the printcap File
1 Use an editor to open /etc/printcap .
2 Make entries that name the Network Card name as the remote host,
and assign any name to the remote printer.
The following is an example of typical printcap entries.
<printer name>:\
(Example: “lprprinter”)
:lp=:\
:rm=<remote host>:\
(Host name from
/etc/hosts )
:rp=<remote printer name>:\
(Any name)
:sd=/usr/spool/lpd/<printer name>:
(Specifies spool directory for where the system can spool data and
perform other spool control.)
This entry sends jobs spooled in /usr/spool/lpd/<printer name> to the
printer specified by <printer name> for printing by the Network Card spec-
ified by <remote host>.
3 Create the spooling directory.
mkdir /usr/spool/lpd/<printer name>
4 Shut down and restart the lpd daemon.
5 Use the lpr command to print something.
lpr -P<printer name> <file name>
Installation is complete if the file you specify prints correctly.
