Setting up an Interface Script
To set up your host with an interface file, add an entry to the /etc/ printcap file, then create and edit its associated files and directories.
The following is an example of the printcap entry, followed by the necessary command for creation of the entries:
hp:\
:sh:pw#80:mx#0\
:lp=/dev/spike.prn:\
:sd=/usr/spool/lpd/spike/prn:\
:lf=/usr/spool/lpd/spike/prn/log\
:af=/usr/spool/lpd/spike/prn/acct:\
:if=/usr/spool/lpd/spike/prnnpr.if:
Where hp is the printer name sending jobs to the Internal Ethernet Adapter named spike through the interface file npr.if. To create these entries, do the following:
1.Create the printer’s spooling directory and associated files. cd /usr/spool/lpd
mkdir spike mkdir spike/prn
touch spike/com2/log spike/ps/acct chown
2.Copy the nprbsd.if file from the host software to the spool directory. Copy the file as npr.if or name it as something more meaningful.
cp nprbsd.if /usr/spool/lpd/spike/prn/npr.if cd /usr/spool/lpd/spike/prn
chown daemon.daemon npr.if chmod g+rwX,o+rX spike
3.Edit the npr.if variables to suit your system environment. Look for the comment section beginning with “EDIT THESE VARIABLES” and at the end of this comment block, you will find the following:
