CHAPTER 1 UNIX PRINTING

1-13

Other Systems

Other systems use similar programs to set up print servers. These programs will

generally ask for the following information:

Requested information: You should use:

remote printer Binary or Text service name

remote host computer name Any name (must match the name in the

printcap file, if any) or in some cases,

you may enter the print server IP

address here

remote host IP address IP address of print server.

Technical support specialists for these companies can usually answer

configuration questions if you provide them with the equivalent UNIX

configuration information (tell them that the print server looks like a remote

UNIX host computer running the lpd line printer daemon).

If you have not created a spool directory for the Brother print server on your

UNIX host computer, you will need to do so now (the printer setup utilities in

HP/UX, AIX, Solaris 2.xx, and other systems will automatically create the spool

directory). The lpd spool directory is usually located in the /usr/spool directory

(check with your system manager to see if the location is different for your

system). To create a new spool directory, use the mkdir command. For example,

to create a spool directory for the queue laser1, you would enter:

mkdir /usr/spool/lpd/laser1

On some systems it is also necessary to start the daemon. This is done on

Berkeley-compatible UNIX systems with the lpc start command as shown in the

following example:

lpc start laser1
