•You will now be asked a series of questions. Respond as follows. Do you want to install or remove a remote printer? Type: I
•Do you want to change printer description file /etc/printcap? Type: Y
•Write a printer name. For example, type: lprprinter1
•Is lprprinter1 a remote printer or a local printer? Type: R
•Enter remote host name: type host name entered in printcap for Print
Server Card. For example, type: lprprinter
•Confirm the information you have entered. Type: Y
•Confirm the preceding connection as your system default. Type: Y
