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 a 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 plotter configuration. You must assign a

name to each printer or plotter managed by the print spooler. Refer to the example
below if you need help completing this step.

Add these lines to your

/etc/printcap

file if:

your plotter 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 plotter on a parallel port
djet:\

:mx#0:sf:sh:\
:lp=/dev/bpp0:\
:sd=/usr/spool/cad:\
:lf=/usr/adm/lpd–errs:
