Sample Commands for Using LPD on BSD Action Sample Command Create a spooling directory Set spooling daemon as owner of this directory Create read/write permissions Give permissions to LPD processes Add remote printer(s) Start lpc print mechanism Mkdir /usr/spool/Spooler_dir Chown daemon /usr/spool/Spooler_dir Chmod 775 /usr/spool/Spooler_dir Chgrp daemon /usr/spool/Spooler_dir See adding remote printers in Table 6-3 lpc start printer_name Printing Using LPD For LPD printing instructions, refer to your UNIX manual. An example command that is used for a BSD UNIX system is: lpr -P printer_name filename The definitions used are: • printer_name is the name of the print queue defined on the UNIX host. • filename is the name of the file you want to print. An example command with parameters is: lpr -P Marketing /etc/hosts In the above example, the /etc/hosts file is sent to the Marketing printer queue. It is then sent to the logical printer associated with this queue. UNIX Printing Using TCP/IP 6-13

shows sample commands when using LPD. The definitions used in the sample
commands are:
printer_name
is the print queue serviced by the logical printer on the print server.
Spooler_dir
is the name of the directory used to spool the print jobs.
Printing Using LPD
For LPD printing instructions, refer to your UNIX manual. An example command that is used for
a BSD UNIX system is:
lpr
-P printer_name filename
The definitions used are:
printer_name
is the name of the print queue defined on the UNIX host.
filename
is the name of the file you want to print.
An example command with parameters is:
lpr
-P Marketing
/etc/hosts
In the above example, the
/etc/hosts
file is sent to the Marketing printer queue. It is then sent to the
logical printer associated with this queue.
