CHAPTER 1 UNIX PRINTING
1-12
Other Systems
Other systems use similar programs to set up Print servers. These programs will
generally ask for the following information:
Requested information: You should use:
remote printer Binary or Text service name
remote host computer name Any name (must match the name in the
printcap file, if any) or in some cases,
you may enter the print server IP
address here
remote host IP address IP address of print server.
Technical support specialists for these companies can usually answer configuration
questions if you provide them with the equivalent UNIX configuration information
(tell them that the print server looks like a remote UNIX host computer running the
lpd line printer daemon).
If you have not created a spool directory for the Brother print 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
