Print Spooler Configuration Examples

Example 1: Configuring the SunOS 4.1.3 Print Spooler for Sun SPARCstations (parallel interface)

In order to perform the following steps you must be a superuser.

1Create a directory for print spooling. All application users need read and write permission for this directory. For example, from the command line of a shell, type

mkdir /usr/spool/cad chmod 777 /usr/spool/cad

2Edit the /etc/printcap file to set up the plotter configuration. You must assign a name to each printer or plotter managed by the print spooler. Refer to the example below if you need help completing this step.

Add these lines to your /etc/printcap file if:

your plotter is named djet,

the device name of your parallel port is /dev/bpp0, and

your spool directory is called /usr/spool/cad.

#Entry for an HP plotter on a parallel port djet:\

:mx#0:sf:sh:\

:lp=/dev/bpp0:\

:sd=/usr/spool/cad:\

:lf=/usr/adm/lpd±errs:
