5.

“Is this printer PostScript?”

Type

yes

or

no

and press

.

6.

The script creates a printcap entry for the printer just config-
ured. The screen displays the entry and asks if you want the
script to append it to your /etc/printcap file. See below for a
sample printcap file. Type

yes

or

no

and press

. If you type

no, you may perform manual edits.

In your /etc/printcap file, be sure not to change the name of the
device given NIC in Step 2. You must reference the same lp:
entry you wrote on the lp command line of the printcap file.
For example:

| NIC printer:\

:lp=/dev/:\

:if=/usr/nic/infilter:\

:sd=/usr/spool/:

All printcap entries must be prefaced with a tab except for
the entry on the first line.

7.

The script creates a spool directory in /usr/spool and starts the
daemon for the newly configured printer. It also displays the
path used if you ever need to restart the daemon. For example:

/usr/nic/lpr_print /dev/nic/

printfast 10001 &

8.

Run the ps command so that you can view all your lpd pro-
cesses. Type:

#ps -ax | grep lpd

9.

Kill all of your lpd processes. Type:

#kill -9

(this will stop ALL printing).

10. Restart the daemon. Type:

#/usr/lib/lpd

Enter
