be known by for HOSTNAME, and the name by which you want
your printer to be known for Rprinter.

1. Add the IP address and printer host name to the \etc\hosts

For example:
22.33.44.55 HOSTNAME

For example:
mkdir\var\spool\lpd\PRIFx

For example:
Rprinter |
ALCXXXX:lp=:rm=HOSTNAME:rp=aux:sd=/var/spool/lpd/P

For example:
lpt -s -PRPrinter Print-File-Name
