Configuring a Remote Print Queue

Step Action

2Modify the printcap entry:

ds0lp1:\

:lp=@tsb0c3/prds3:\

:sd=/usr/spool/lpd1:

The tsb0c3 entry identifies the access server internet address and is an entry in /etc/hosts for the access server. The prds3 entry identifies the access server TCP port number and is an entry in /etc/services. For example:

16.20.48.43 tsb0c3.lkg.dec.com tsb0c3

prds3 2010/tcp

3Print a file using the host’s lpr command. The lpr command queues and submits a job for printing. For example:

# lpr -P ds0 file

Configuring a TCP/IP Remote Print Queue on a UNIX System

System managers must provide an application that queues print jobs on a UNIX system. A sample print spooler program, DS7-UNIX-SPOOL.C, for UNIX systems is included with the software distribution kit. This program is written in the C language. This file is loaded in the load host DECSERVER directory during installation.
