4.Register the printer in the /etc/printcap file.

Example: for host name C5300, to create a queue called C5300_lp

C5300_lp: \

:lp=:rm=C5300:rp=lp:\

:sd=/usr/spool/C5300_lp:\

:lf=/usr/spool/C5300_lp/C5300_lp_errs:

C5300_lp The name of the printer queue

lp: The name of the device used to connect to the printer. Does not need to be specified for a remote machine.

rm: The name of the host of the remote printer. This should be the same as the name added to the /etc/ hosts file.

rp: The name of the printer on the remote printer. It should be lp.

sd: The spool directory. Give the absolute path.

lf: The error log file. Give the absolute path.

5.Create the spool directory and error log file.

#mkdir /usr/spool/C5300_lp

#touch /usr/spool/C5300_lp/C5300_lp_errs

#chown –R daemon /usr/spool/C5300_lp

#chgrp –R # daemon /usr/spool/C5300_lp

6.Check that lpd (printer daemon) is activated.

#ps aux grep lpd

7.If lpd is not running, you can start it by logging in as superuser and executing
