✒ Note

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.).

Such 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).

Linux Configuration

If you do not wish to use the command line interface to configure your Linux distribution,

you may wish to use the Linux Printer System Manager application on your GUI. To do this,

do the following:

From the Linux Printer System Manager screen, click the "Add" button.

You will now be asked to specify which Printer type you are using, select the "Remote Unix

(lpd) Queue" option and click "OK".

You must now specify the remote host name, remote queue name and the input filter to use.

The "Remote Host" name is the IP address of the printer, or the name from the hosts file

which corresponds to the IP address of the printer.

The "Remote Queue" name is the service name that the printer will use when processing the

data. Generally we recommend that you use the name "BINARY_P1", however, if you are

planning to send text documents that do not have a carriage return and a line feed, then use

"TEXT_P1_TX".

Select the appropriate "Input Filter" from the list of available printers on your particular build

of Linux.

In order to make your settings work, select the "Resart lpd" option. As soon as the lpd server

restarts, you will be able to send printed documents from your server.
