A remote printer is added by inserting the following line in the /etc/printcap file.
Note: The entry is really one line, but can be entered as shown.
Use a TAB character where shown.

AB ] :lp=:\
[T AB ] :rm=PS_NAME:\

printer_name is the Print Queue name used to store jobs for the corresponding
logical printer.
PS_NAME is the FastPrint Server name defined in /etc/hosts.
Logical_Printer_name is the logical printer name on the FastPrint (L1..L8).
Spooler_directory is the directory you created in step 6.
