4.2.3 LPR on UNIX Hosts

The Berkeley remote printing system is supported on many machines, and is simple to con- figure. This section describes how to configure LPR print queues on generic UNIX hosts such as SUN hosts. There are slight variations in LPR configuration for AIX, HP, and SCO hosts, as will be explained in the following sections.

1Install a print queue on your host by adding the MPS name and IP address to the /etc/hosts file:

Figure 4-6:Adding /etc/hosts Entry

xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx MPS_xxxxxx

2Add the host print queue to the /etc/printcap file. The punctuation shown in Figure 4-7 is required, and no extra spaces should be added.
