Adding Remote Printers

A remote printer is added by inserting the following line in the /etc/printcap file.

Note: The entry is really one line, but can be entered as shown. Use a TAB character where shown.

Printer_nameRemote_Printer_Alias:\ [TAB] :lp=:\

[TAB] :rm=PS_NAME:\

[TAB] :rp=Logical_Printer_name:\

[TAB] :sd=Spooler_directory:\

[TAB] :mx#0:

Where:

Printer_name is the Print Queue name used to store jobs for the corresponding logical printer.

PS_NAME is the Wireless Print Server name defined in /etc/hosts.

Logical_Printer_name is the logical printer name on the Wireless Print Server (for example, L1).

Spooler_directory is the directory you created.

Example:

MarketingRP1_PS123456:\ [TAB] :lp=:\

[TAB] :rm=PS_Rm203:\

[TAB] :rp=L1:\

[TAB] :sd=/usr/spool/Marketing:\

[TAB] :mx#0:

Repeat this process for each Logical Printer/Print Queue combination that you wish to create.
