Section 4 - Chapter 3 - TCP/IP Configuration and Printing Configuring a BSD-Style Print Queue For remote BSD-Style LPD printing, add the OkiLAN 6120i as a remote printer in the "/etc/printcap" database to each host printing to the OkiLAN 6120e. You can add PRINTCAP options as needed. If you are unfamiliar with PRINTCAP, consult your local documentation. The entry should be similar to the following: local_print_queue_name|[printer_model_and_ manufacturer]:\:lp=:mx#0:rm=OkiLAN 6120e_name:\:rp=remote_print_queue_name:\ :sd=path_to_spool_directory:lf=just log_file_name local_print_queue_name The local_print_queue_name defines the name of the printcap entry. It is used by the lpr/lpd utilities to specify which printcap entry is being referenced. Additional printcap entries can be added as needed for different queue types. Each entry must have a unique local_print_queue_name and a different spool directory to work properly. When you are ready to print, use the local_print_queue_name that matches the data type of the file to be printed. OkiLAN 6120i_name This is the name (alias) of the OkiLAN 6120i. This must be the same name as entered in the /etc/hosts file or your NIS or DNS system. An IP address may also be used here. remote_print_queue_name The remote_print_queue_name entry determines the OkiLAN 6120i port where the print job will be printed and optionally specifies ASCII printing. path_to_spool_directory This is the path to a directory where the print jobs will be spooled for this queue. You must create a unique spool directory for each printcap entry. TCP/IP OKI OkiLAN 6120i User's Guide IV - 17
