Make sure this information is added to the end of the printcap file. Also make sure that the last
character in the printcap file is a colon ":".
This will create a queue named laser1 on the host computer that communicates to a Brother print server
with a node name (rm) of BRN_310107, which can print to a Brother printer through spool directory /
usr/spool/lpd/laser1.
The rm and rp options are not available on some UNIX systems, so if necessary check your
documentation (or man pages) to determine the equivalent options.
Users of Berkeley-compatible UNIX systems can use the lpc command to obtain the printer status:
%lpc status
laser1:
queuing is enabled
printing is enabled
no entries
no daemon present
Users of AT&T-compatible UNIX systems can generally use the lpstat or rlpstat commands to obtain
similar status information. Because this procedure varies from system to system, refer to your system
documentation for the exact usage.

Skip this section if you have completed Step 3, unless you have an SCO UNIX system.
If you have an HP/UX system, IBM RS/6000 AIX computer, or Sun Solaris 2.xx, there is no printcap file.
This is also true for some other AT&T-based UNIX systems, as well as many VMS-based TCP/IP
software packages (for example, UCX, TGV Multinet, etc.). On SCO systems, there is a printcap file, but
it is automatically configured by the rlpconf command. Most of these systems generally use a printer
setup program to define the service name (remote printer), the print server name (remote machine) or
IP address, and the local queue name (spool directory). Refer to the appropriate section depending on
your version of Unix.
