To manually configure an LPR/LPD printer on a BSD Unix system:
1. Define an entry for this new printer within the printcap file, /etc/
printcap.
Syntax:
printername:
:sh:pw#80:mx#0:\
:rm= PrintNetname :\
:rp= PrintNetdestination :\
:lp=:\
:sd=/usr/spool/lpd/ printername :\
:lf=/usr/spool/lpd/ printername /log:\
:af=/usr/spool/lpd/ printername /acct:
where printername is any name you would like to give to this new printer,
PrintNetname is the host or IP name of the print server, and
PrintNetdestination is one of the pre-defined destinations/queues on the
device.
Example:
P5000:
:sh:pw#80:mx#0:\
:rm=spike:\
:rp=d1prn:\
:lp=:\
:sd=/usr/spool/lpd/ P5000:\
:lf=/usr/spool/lpd/ P5000/log:\
:af=/usr/spool/lpd/ P5000/acct:
2. Create the spool directory specified by the "
entry for this printer.
Example:
touch /usr/spool/lpd/ P5000

entries in the printcap entry for this printer.
