3. Add an entry to the host's /etc/printcap file, similar to
the following:
Lines should be indented with tabs. More than one printer
name can be used, with variants separated by vertical bars
(name1|name2).
The rm= entry should correspond to the IP address you
have assigned to the print server. You can also use a host
name if you have one assigned in the /etc/hosts file.
The sd= entry should correspond to the spool directory
you created in the previous step.
The rp= entry should correspond to the port name of the
remote printer. The values should be one of lpt1, lpt2 or
lpt3 depending on the which printer port your printer is
attached to (for multiple port print servers).
The print server should now be available for printing
from your Unix host.
