Example installation for a typical BSD UNIX system

The following procedure is an example spooler conﬁguration that will work for many BSD systems, including SunOS 4.x and 5.x (Solaris 1.x and 2.x) and Digital UNIX.

Modify the /etc/hosts ﬁle to identify the printer to the workstation and modify the /etc/printcap ﬁle to describe the printer to the workstation:

1.Log on to your system as root.

2.Make a backup copy of the /etc/hosts ﬁle.

N O T E

You need superuser privileges to edit this ﬁle.

3.Edit /etc/hosts and add a line that deﬁnes the printer's IP address and its name. The IP address you enter here for the printer must be the same address you speciﬁed as the printer's IP address when it was conﬁgured. The name is the name by which your workstation identiﬁes the printer (you will enter this same remote name in your /etc/printcap ﬁle in the next step). For example:

134.62.33.138 Phaser840

In this example, 134.62.33.138 is the printer’s IP address and

Phaser840 is the printer’s remote name.

4.Make a backup copy of the /etc/printcap ﬁle.

5.Edit /etc/printcap and add an entry for your printer. Refer to the following example and the table “Descriptions of printcap parameters” on page 28 to create your entry.
