Brother MFC 8840D - Manual (Page 26)

UNIX PRINTING 1 - 13
If you have not created a spool directory for the Brother Print/Fax
server on your UNIX host computer, you will need to do so now (the
printer setup utilities in HP/UX, AIX, Solaris 2.xx, and other systems
will automatically create the spool directory). The lpd spool directory
is usually located in the
/usr/spool directory (check with your
system manager to see if the location is different for your system). To
create a new spool directory, use the
mkdir command. For
example, to create a spool directory for the queue laser1, you would
enter:
mkdir /usr/spool/lpd/laser1
On some systems it is also necessary to start the daemon. This is
done on Berkeley-compatible UNIX systems with the
lpc start
command as shown in the following example:
lpc start laser1
