Configure Remote LPD Printing on the Host

The procedure you use to configure your Unix host(s) to allow printing to
your network remote print server varies between different varieties of
Unix. The procedure below can be used for Unix variants that are related
to BSD Unix, such as SunOS or Linux.
consult your system documentation, keeping in mind that:
1. The print server should be treated as a BSD networked print server
host.
2. The host name should be the name (or IP address) that you have
assigned to the print server.
3. The printer name (or queue name) on the remote host should be lpt1,
lpt2 or lpt3, the name of the printer port on the print server.
You will need to perform the tasks below, logged in as the superuser
(root). To configure your Unix host for printing,
1. Optionally, assign a name corresponding to the print server's IP
address. You can add this address to the /etc/hosts file, by adding a line
such as:
2. Create a spool directory for the printer in the same directory where
spool directories are normally kept on the machine, such as /var/spool or
/var/spool/lpd:
3. Add an entry to the host's /etc/printcap file, similar to the following:
203.66.191.186
mkdir /var/spool/lpd/pserverd
chown daemon /var/spool/lpd/pserverd
chgrp daemon /var/spool/lpd/pserverd
chmod 775 /var/spool/lpd/pserverd
