/etc/printcap File
Edit the /etc/printcap file if necessary.
The /etc/printcap file contains entries separated by colons (:). If
an entry needs to continue on the next line, enter a backslash (\)
at the end of the line. Make sure that the second through the last
lines are tabbed, or the file will not be properly read.
A sample remote printer entry for a printer called 8650 accessed
through a remote BSD Unix host is shown below. The log file is /
usr/adm/8650.errs, and the files are spooled in the directory /usr/
spool/8650. The install.sh script on the UNIX Utilities for the TCP/
IP diskette automatically adds a section similar to this.
8650:\
:lf=/usr/adm/8650.errs:\
:lp=:\
:rm= 8650:\
:mx#0:\
:rp=ps:\
:sd=/usr/spool/8650:
