4) Add the server’s node_name to the /etc/hosts file.

For example:

>#IP_address node_name

IP_address The printer server IP address in decimal dot notation.

node_name The same entered in the /etc/printcap file in step 2.

5)To start the printer queue:

>#lpc start printer_name

printer_name The remote printer queue name.

6)Enter:

>#lpr -Pprinter_name file_name

printer_name The remote printer queue name. file_name Any text file name.

Configure LPD for Non-UNIX Hosts

Many non-UNIX hosts using TCP/IP support printing through the LPD protocol. Refer to the host’s TCP/IP documentation to configure printers using LPD. Information needed to configure the printer server includes:

•The IP address of the printer server

•The remote queue (printer) name

•TEXT and PASSTHRU as the printer server’s default queue names

•Either default TCP or acceptable TCP ports depend upon host environment requirements.
