Make sure users know the printer names for the printers, since they will have to enter those names on the
command line for printing.
Following is an example of configuring print queues for BSD-like systems (for example, Linux):
1.
Edit the /etc/printcap file to include the following entries:
printer_name:\
:lp=:\
:rm=print_appliance_name:\
:rp=remote_printername_argument:\ (this should be the same as the
printer name on the appliance)
:lf=/var/spool/lpd/error_log_filename:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/printername:\
:sh:
where printer_name is the name of the printer on the local computer. ,
print_appliance_name identifies the printer on the network, and
remote_printername_argument is the print queue designation on the appliance.
For more information on printcap, see the printcap man page in the UNIX documentation.
2.
Create the spooling directory by making the following entries. As the root user, enter:
cd /var/spool/lpd
mkdir printername
chown root printername
chgrp lp printername
chmod 755 printername
where printername is the name of the printer on the local computer.
Configuring Print Queues Using SAM (HP-UX Systems)
On HP-UX systems, the SAM utility can be used to configure remote print queues for printing.
Before the SAM program is executed, select an IP address for the appliance and set up an entry in the /etc/hosts
file on the system running HP-UX. (This is not required if DNS is configured.)
1.
Start the SAM utility as a super user.
2.
Select "Printers/Plotters" from the Peripheral Devices menu.
3.
Select "LP Spooler".
4.
Select "Printers/Plotters" from the Printers/Plotters menu.
5.
Select Action from the top menu and then select "Add Remote Printer or Plotter".
6.
Complete the "Add Remote Printer/Plotter" screen.
The "Printer Name" field should be the local printer name.
Be sure to check the box "Remote Printer is on a BSD System".
7.
Click OK.
8.
Select Exit from the List menu.
9.
Exit SAM.
