6.5 Configure Remote lpd Printing on the

Host

The procedure you use to configure your Unix host(s)

to allow printing to your network remote print server varies

between different varieties of Unix. The procedure below

can be used for Unix variants that are related to BSD Unix,

such as SunOS or Linux. For other versions of Unix,

consult your system documentation, keeping in mind that:

1. The print server should be treated as a BSD

networked print server host.

2. The host name should be the name (or IP address)

that you have assigned to the print server.

3. The printer name (or queue name) on the remote

host should be lpt1, lpt2 or lpt3, the name of the printer

port on the print server.

You will need to perform the tasks below, logged in as

the superuser (root). To configure your Unix host for

printing,

1. Optionally, assign a name corresponding to the

print server’s IP address. You can add this address to the

/etc/hosts file, by adding a line such as:

203.66.191.186 pserver

2. Create a spool directory for the printer in the same

directory where spool directories are normally kept on the

machine, such as /var/spool or /var/spool/lpd:

1 2 ... 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 ... 138 139
