Remote Printing with the BSD UNIX Print Spooler

To establish the remote printer connections with a printer server running BSD UNIX, perform the following steps:

1.Logon to the NMS host as root and TYPE: mkdev rlp

PRESS: Enter

NOTE

The command mkdev rlp can only be run ONCE. Running the command more than once will result in an incorrect lp configuration requiring a complete reinstallation of the UNIX system on that processor.

If remote line printing has already been installed, a message appears with the prompt:

Do you wish to continue?

TYPE: n

PRESS: Enter

TYPE: rlpconf

PRESS: Enter

and go to Step 3.
