Where
printer_name is the Print Queue name used to store jobs for the
corresponding logical printer
PS_NAME is the Print Server name defined in /etc/hosts
Logical_Printer_name is the logical printer name on the Print Server
(L1..L3 or L1..L8, depending on your model)
Spooler_directory is the directory you created in Step 6.
Example:
Marketing|RP1_SC123456:\
[T
AB
] :lp=:\
[T
AB
] :rm=PS_Rm203:\
[T
AB
] :rp=L1:\
[T
AB
] :sd=/usr/spool/Marketing:\
[T
AB
] :mx#0:
Repeat this process for each Logical Printer/Print Queue combination that you wish
to create.
LPD on BSD
Before continuing, ensure that an IP Address has been assigned to the Print Server.
Remember the following:
•
The remote host name is the name of the Print Server.
•
The remote printer name is the logical printer (L1..L3, or L1..L8) on the Print
Server.
•
If asked for the LPD type, enter the service type as BSD.
•
In the sample commands shown,
printer_name is the Print Queue serviced by the
logical printer on the Print Server, and
Spooler_dir is the name of the directory
used to spool the print jobs.
