Setting up for SunOS 4.1.4 or later

In the following steps, substitute the name that your printer with the interface card will be known by for HOSTNAME, and the name by which you want your printer to be known for Rprinter.

1.Add the IP address and printer host name to the \etc\hosts file.

For example:

22.33.44.55 HOSTNAME

2.Create a spool directory.

For example: mkdir\var\spool\lpd\PRIFx

3.Add the printer entry to the \etc\printcap file.

For example:

Rprinter LP-1700:lp=:rm=HOSTNAME:rp=aux:sd=/var/spool/ lpd/PRIFx

Files are printed using the lpr command.

For example:

lpt -s -PRPrinter Print-File-Name

cCaution:

Files that exceed 1MB may not be printed unless the -s option is used.
