Editing of the configuration file (printcap and lpd.ini)
The installation program creates a folder "Lpd" in the PRISMAspool base directory (default
"C:\Program Files\Oce Printing systems\PRISMAspool") and a sample "printcap" file there.
This sample defines two print queues NTDR0 and NTDR1 respectively which may be test-
ed e.g. from a UNIX machine.
6.3 Editing of the configuration file (printcap and lpd.ini)
Use a text editor like Edit or Notepad to customize the printcap file to suit your needs. The
structure of this file follows the usual BSD lpd syntax:
•
- Everything after a "#" up to the next end of line is ignored,
•
- Definitions for different print queues are separated by end of line; if a definition is to
spawn several lines each but the last one must be terminated by a "\".
•
- Each definition starts with the name field of the print queue followed by optional pa-
rameter fields, the fields a separated by ":", e.g.
NTDR0:cl=a:mc#100:sn=Printer0: defines a print queue named "NTDR0" and associ-
ated with the parameters "cl=a" and "sn=Printer".
Exactly the same may be accomplished by
NTDR0:cl=a:\
:mc#100:sn=Printer0:
