7.Optionally, add another printcap entry (and issue another lpc start command) for a second printer, using the port_TEXT port. This second printer name can be used for printing text files.
Entries in /etc/printcap begin with a name for the printer or a list of names, separated by (a vertical bar). The entries used above are:
♦lp= The lp entry is used to specify a local printer device. Since the printer is a remote printer, this entry should be blank.
♦sd=dir The location of the printer’s local spool directory.
♦mx#blocks The limit for print job files in the local spool directory; 0 means no limit.
♦rm=address The host where the remote printer is located, in this case the HyperNet Fastprint print server.
♦rp=printer The name of the printer on the remote host. For the HyperNet Fastprint print server, the port name should be used. Note: this entry is case- sensitive.
