5. Add an entry for the printer to /etc/printcap, similar to the following: hp5l:\ :lp=:sd=/var/spool/hp5l :mx#0:\ :rm=ps-142634:rp=ps-142634-p1: The meaning of each of the entries is described below. The directory path in the sd spool directory entry should match the directory name you created above. If your entry requires more than one line you can escape the newline with a backslash. 6. Issue the command lpc start hp5l to start a spool daemon for the printer. The printer will now be available for use. 7. Optionally, add another printcap entry (and issue another lpc start command) for a second printer, using the port_TEXT port. This second printer name can be used for printing text files. Entries in /ect/printcap begin with a name for the printer or a list of name, separated by | (a vertical bar). The entries used above are: ◆ lp= The lp entry is used to specify a local printer device. Since the printer is a remote printer, this entry should be blank. ◆ sd=dir The location of the printer's local spool directory. ◆ mx#blocks The limit for print job files in the local spool directory; 0 means no limit. 109
