Section 4 - Chapter 3 - TCP/IP Configuration and Printing log_file_name This is the path to a file where error information from the lpd will be logged. Example: If you are printing to an ASCII printer that requires a carriage return/line feed, you may need two separate printcap entries: one entry for print jobs which terminate lines with a carriage return/line feed, and another entry for print jobs which terminate lines with a line feed only. Your printcap entries might look like the following: ascii_files|form.feed.Queue_on_Port_2:\ :lp=:mx#0:rm=pserver1:rp=MYQUEUEFF2:\ :sd=/usr/spool/myqueueff2:\ :lf=/usr/spool/myqueueff2/queue.log asciilf_files|line.feed.Queue_on_Port_2:\ :lp=:mx#0:rm=pserver1:rp=MYQUEUELF2:\ :sd=/usr/spool/myqueuelf2:\ :lf=/usr/spool/myqueuelf2/queue.log Note: Each printcap entry must have a different spool directory to work properly. Remote LPD Printing The way print jobs are queued to a Remote LPD system varies among the vendors that support TCP/IP. UNIX systems that are BSD-based typically use the lpr program to submit print jobs. Other UNIX systems may use the lp program to submit print jobs. PC-based TCP/ IP packages often provide a command line lpr program and a utility to redirect the output of an LPT port to a Remote LPD system. Consult your system administrator or software vendor for assistance troubleshooting LPD. IV - 18 OKI OkiLAN 6020e User's Guide
