LPR is supported in SCO V3.2 release 4 with TCP/IP Version 1.2 and greater.
To configure a print queue using LPR, issue the mkdev rlp command. This will install the
Berkeley remote printing files and executable programs.
The mkdev rlp command should only be issued once, or serious prob-
Note:
lems will occur. If this happens, contact SCO technical support.
You can print to this queue using normal lp syntax once the remote printer is set up. To
create a remote printer:

2 Answer the questions that follow.
Remote Printing Configuration
Enter information for remote printers or local printers accepting remote printing requests
Please enter the printer name (q to quit): backupprinter
Is printer backupprinter a remote printer or a local printer? (r/l) r
Please enter the name of the remote host that backupprinter is attached to: LES_xxxxxx
The backupprinter is connected to host LES_xxxxxx.
Is this correct? (y/n) y
Would you like this to be the sys.default printer? (y/n) y
Make sure your hostname appears in LES_PRT's /etc/hosts.equivor or /etc/hosts:lpd file.
Make sure backupprinter appears in /etc/printcap (in BSD format).
Make sure backupprinter has a spool directory on LES_PRT.
Putting the printer in printer description file and creating spool directory... done
Updating LP information... done
In the example, the printer name is your Terminal Server service name, and the re-
mote host name is the name of your Terminal Server as it is listed in your hosts file.
During initial configuration, the queue name must be the same as the remote printer name.
However, you may change the queue name later by manually editing the printcap file.
