rect, type

The printcap entries you have made up to this point appear on the dis-
play and the script confirms whether you want the entries written into

press

and then manually make the required changes to the en-

tries.
Do not change the device name in the

/etc/printcap

file, which was

given to the Network Card in step 3. The lp command line must refer-
ence the

:lp

entry recorded in the printcap file. The following shows an

example entry.

<printer name> | Print Server Card printer:\

:lp=/dev/<printer name>:\

:if=/usr/nic/infilter:\

:sd=/usr/spool/<printer name>:

* All printcap entries start with a tab except for the first.

The script creates a spool directory in

/usr/spool

and starts a daemon

for the newly configured printer. At this time, the script displays the
path you should use if you ever need to restart the daemon.

Example:
/usr/nic/lpr_print /dev/nic/<printer name> print-

fast 10001 &
