The following sections give specific lpd/lpr setup instructions for various systems.
Setting Up a BSD Remote Printer to Use lpd/lpr
To set up a remote printer on the host that sends jobs to the Elite 21 using printer resident lpd, add an entry to the /etc/printcap file on your host for each printer you use. The steps are described as follows:
•Open the /etc/printcap file. Make an entry naming the Print Server Card as the remote host and PORT1 as the remote printer name. A typical printcap entry is shown below:
<printer_name>\
(for example, lprprinter)
:lp=:\
:rm=<remote_host>:\
(for example, name as entered in /etc/hosts)
:rp=PORT1:\ :sd=/usr/spool/lpd/<printer_name>:
(for example, spool directory on system used to spool data and control files)
This entry will send jobs spooled at /usr/spool/lpd/<printer_name> to the printer designated <printer_name> to be printed at port 1 (the internal connection to the printer) of the printer designated as <remote_host>.
• Create the spooling directory. For example, type:
mkdir /usr/spool/lpd/<printer_name>
•To print via the spooler, use the lpr command. Type:
Installation and testing is done. You are now ready to print.
