Chapter 3 - Network Setup

Example:

# printcap entry for OKIPAE 14i PAGEPRINTER
on Network

OKIPAGE 14i:\

:lp=\
:rm=OKIPAGE 14i:\
:rp=OKIPAGE 14i:\
:lf=/var/adm/lpd-errs: \
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/ OKIPAGE 14i:

If there is # at the beginning of the line, this line
becomes a comment.

If you enter a carriage return without a space character
after a back slash (\), this entry continues to the next
line. Please note that if you enter a space character at the
end of the printcap line, by mistake, a serious error will
occur.

In this example, a tab is set for the left margin for the
continuing lines. A continuing line of any entry must
begin with a space character, normally with a tab
character. If an entry continues to the second line or
more, you must place a colon at the end of each line and
the beginning of next line.

Meaning of each entry:

lp:

device name to open for output. Specify the

name of the file to open for output. For a printer
which resides in the remote host, there must be an
empty entry.

rm:

machine name for remote printer. Specify

the name of the remote machine connected. This
name must be an already known host name of the
machine on the network.

rp:

remote printer name argument. Indicates that

the printer name on the remote machine is OKI-
PAGE 14i.

lf:

error logging filename. Specify the file which

records the spooler errors. You can create it at an
arbitrary place, but the permission to write must
be already set.

sd:

spool directory. Specify the spooling direc-

tory. Make sure that the directory has the correct
permission.
