1. Open the etc/printcap file. Make an entry naming the Ethernet Print
Server as the remote host and a particular port as the remote printer
name: PORT1. Choosing PORT1 sends jobs queued on a local host
to a specific Ethernet Print Server port.
A typical printcap entry is shown below.
<printer_name>|DPI printer:\
:lp=:\
:rm=<remote_host>:\
:rp=PORT1:\
:sd=/usr/spool/lpd/<printer_
name>:
This entry will send a job spooled to the printer you designate
(printer_name) to be printed at port 1 of the Ethernet Print Server
you designate.
2. Create the spooling directory. For example, type:
mkdir/usr/spool/lpd/<printer_
name>
3. To print via the spooler, use the lpr command. Type:
lpr -P <printer_name> <file_name>
Installation and testing is done. You are ready to print.
Setting Up an AIX Remote Printer to Use lpd
