The Host
On systems where LPD or a binary for ioland is not available, or is found to be unreliable due
to limitations in the OS, RCP provides a useful, if limited, alternative method for printing. The
port/group of ports must be configured to listen to the RCP port, which is port 514. Users can
then copy files to the server using the following command syntax:
rcp <file> <server>:tty [port #]
It is worth noting that the RCP will fail if the port (or all the ports in the hunt group) is in use
when the RCP command is attempted. If you wish to use RCP as part of a System V print
spooler script, it is essential that the script checks the return status of the RCP command.
