Configuring A Bsd-Style Print Queue - Oki OkiLAN 6120i 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
6120i as a remote printer in the "/etc/printcap"
database to each host printing to the OkiLAN 6120e.
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
6120e_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 6120i_name
This is the name (alias) of the OkiLAN 6120i. 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 6120i 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.
