You can indicate to the network interface card lpd what type of print control-
ler it is attached to by either:

x

Accepting the default port setting (PCL, PostScript and other), or

x

Changing the listed emulations via a standard IP based Web Browser.

The sections that follow give specific lpd setup instructions for various sys-
tems.

Setting Up a BSD Remote Printer to Use lpd

To set up a remote printer on the host that sends jobs to the network inter-
face card using printer resident lpd, add an entry to the /etc/printcap file on
your host for each printer you use. Perform the following procedure:

1

Open the /etc/printcap file.

-

Make an entry naming the network interface card as the remote
host and PORT1 as the remote printer name. A typical printcap en-
try is as follows:

\ (for example, lprprinter)
:lp=:\

:rm=:\ (for example, name as entered in /etc/hosts)
:rp=PORT1:\
:sd=/usr/spool/lpd/:
(for example, spool directory on system used to spool
data and control files)

This entry will send jobs spooled at /usr/spool/lpd/ to the
printer designated to be printed at PORT 1 (the internal con-
nection to the printer) of the network interface card designated as
.

2

Create the spooling directory. For example, type:

mkdir /usr/spool/lpd/

3

To print via the spooler, use the lpr command. Type:

lpr-P < file_name>

Installation and testing are done. You are now ready to print.
