mkdir /var/spool/lpd/pserverd

3.Add an entry to the host’s /etc/printcap file, similar to the following:
:lp=:\
:rm=203.66.191.186:\
:rp=lpt1:\
:lf=/var/spool/lpd/pserverd.log:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/pserverd:\
:mx#0:
Lines should be indented with tabs. More than one printer name can be used, with variants separated by vertical bars (name1name2).
The rm= entry should correspond to the IP address you have assigned to the print server. You can also use a host name if you have assigned one in the /etc/hosts file.
The sd= entry should correspond to the spool directory you created in the previous step.
