Configuring Print Queues for BSD-based Systems

Edit the /etc/printcap file to include the following entries:

printer_nameshort_printer_name:\ :lp=:\

:rm=node_name:\

:rp=remote_printer_name_argument:\ (this should be text, raw, binps, auto, or user-defined) :lf=/usr/spool/lpd/error_log_filename:\ :sd=/usr/spool/lpd/printer_name:

where printer_name identifies the printer to the user, node_name identifies the printer on the network, and remote_printer_name_argument is the print queue designation.
