Printing from BSD Unix Versions

For "flavors" of the Unix operating system derived from or related
to the BSD releases, such as SunOS 4.x, Linux, BSD/OS,
FreeBSD, or NetBSD, you can use the following procedure to
enable users to print to a printer connected to your print server:
1. Log in as the superuser (root).
2. Add an entry for the print server in the host's
file, giving a hostname for the print server's IP address. A
line in
aliases for the host. For example:
202.39.74.40
If you use DNS (the Domain Naming Services protocol), you
can add an address record entry to your DNS database for the
print server.
3. Create a spool directory for the printer:
On SunOS systems, create the directory as a subdirectory
of
/var/spool
/var/spool/hp5l
On Linux systems, create the directory as a subdirectory
of
/usr/spool/lp
