Configuring A Bsd-Style Print Queue - Oki OKILAN 6100E+ User Manual

Section 4 - Chapter 3 - TCP/IP Configuration and Printing

Configuring a BSD-Style Print Queue

For remote BSD-Style LPD printing, add the OkiLAN
6100e+ as a remote printer in the "/etc/printcap"
database to each host printing to the OkiLAN 6100e+.
You can add PRINTCAP options as needed. If you are
unfamiliar with PRINTCAP, consult your local
documentation.
The entry should be similar to the following:
local_print_queue_name|[printer_model_and_
manufacturer]:\:lp=:mx#0:rm=OkiLAN
6100e_name:\:rp=remote_print_queue_name:\
:sd=path_to_spool_directory:lf=just
log_file_name
local_print_queue_name
The local_print_queue_name defines the name of the
printcap entry. It is used by the lpr/lpd utilities to
specify which printcap entry is being referenced.
Additional printcap entries can be added as needed for
different queue types. Each entry must have a unique
local_print_queue_name and a different spool directory
to work properly. When you are ready to print, use the
local_print_queue_name that matches the data type of
the file to be printed.
OkiLAN 6100e_name
This is the name (alias) of the OkiLAN 6100e+. This
must be the same name as entered in the /etc/hosts file
or your NIS or DNS system. An IP address may also be
used here.
remote_print_queue_name
The remote_print_queue_name entry determines the
OkiLAN 6100e+ port where the print job will be printed
and optionally specifies ASCII printing.
path_to_spool_directory
This is the path to a directory where the print jobs will
be spooled for this queue. You must create a unique
spool directory for each printcap entry.
