Print Spooler Configuration Examples
Example 1: Configuring the SunOS 4.1.3 print spooler for Sun SPARCstations
(parallel interface)
In order to perform the following steps you must be superuser.
1
Create a directory for print spooling. All application users need read and write
permission for this directory. For example, from the command line of a shell, type:
mkdir /usr/spool/cad
chmod 777 /usr/spool/cad
2
Edit the
/etc/printcap
file to set up the printer configuration. You must assign a
name to each printer managed by the print spooler. Refer to the example below if
you need help completing this step.
Add the following lines to your
/etc/printcap
file. The example assumes:
your printer is named
djet
,
the device name of your parallel port is
/dev/bpp0
, and
your spool directory is called
/usr/spool/cad
.
# Entry for an HP printer on a parallel port
djet:\
:mx#0:sf:sh:\
:lp=/dev/bpp0:\
:sd=/usr/spool/cad:\
:lf=/usr/adm/lpd–errs:
