❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ Adding an entry to the /etc/printcap file
The following entry is added to the /etc/printcap file, which is the configu-
ration for printing with the lpr command. In order to use the lpr command to
print, you need to edit the /etc/hosts file, add an entry for the network print-
er to the /etc/printcap file and create a spool directory.

Note
❒ The /etc/printcap file is used to register the name and attributes of a print-
er. You must make an entry for the network printer in the /etc/printcap
file of all workstations using the network printer.
❒ Each entry is separated with colons into several fields. The syntax is to be-
gin each entry with a colon, followed by the entry, and then end with a co-
lon, a back slash, and then a return.
❒ The first line of the field is the name of the printer. You use this name when
logging on to a network printer from a workstation. You can define several
different names by separating each name with the "|" character.
❒ The second and following lines contain the printer's attributes. Attributes
of the printer are represented by two character names referred to as capa-
bilities. For more information about capabilities, see the following table.
