UNIX/Linux-System Network You will need to perform the tasks below, logged in as the 1 "superuser" (root). To configure your UNIX /Linux host for printing: 1. Optionally, assign a name corresponding to the Print 2 Server's IP address. You can add this address to the "/etc/hosts" file, by adding a line such as: 3 2 0 3 . 6 6 .19 1.18 6 pserver 2. Create a spool directory for the printer in the same directory where spool directories are normally kept on 4 the machine, such as "/var/spool" or "/var/spool/lpd": mkdir /var/spool/lpd/pserverd 5 chown daemon /var/spool/lpd/pserverd chgrp daemon /var/spool/lpd/pserverd 6 chmod 775 /var/spool/lpd/pserverd 7 3. Add an entry to the host's "/etc/printcap" file, similar to the following: printer-name:\ 8 :lp=:\ : rm = 203.66.191.186 :\ 9 :rp=lpt1:\ 10 :lf=/var/spool/lpd/pserverd.log:\ :sd=/var/spool/lpd/pserverd:\ 11 :mx#0: Lines should be indented with tabs. More than one printer name can 12 be used, with variants separated by vertical bars (name1|name2). The "rm=" entry should correspond to the IP address you have assigned to the Print Server. You can also use a hostname if you have 13 assigned one in the "/etc/hosts" file. The "sd=" entry should correspond to the spool directory you 14 created in the previous step. The "rp=" entry should correspond to the port name of the remote 15 printer. The values should be one of lpt1, lpt2, or lpt3, depending on the printer port. 16 The Print Server should now be available for printing from your UNIX/ Linux host. 17 124 section
