❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ Making the spool directory
Create a spool directory under /var/spool/lpd. The name of spool directory
should be the name of the printer followed by a "d".
Note
❒ The spool directory is used to control the data used for a print job. For ex-
ample, when a print job is created, a temporary copy of the file data used
for printing is created in the spool directory. All workstations accessing the
network printer need to have a spool directory for the network printer.
❒ A spool directory should be made for every network printer entry listed in
the /etc/printcap file.
❒ The spool directory should normally be made under /var/spool/lpd and
the name should match that listed under the sd capability in /etc/print-
cap. Change the owner and group of the directory to daemon, and set its
permission to 775. The following examples show how to make a /var/
spool/lpd/npd spool directory.
# cd /var/spool/lpd
# mkdir np
# chown daemon np
# chgrp daemon np
# chmod 775 np
❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ Making the log file
Error messages are logged to a file created in the /var/log directory. The log
file name is the printer name followed by "d-errs".
