:
1.
On a workstation that will print to the Colorwriter, log in to your UNIX host as the
root user.
2.
Create an entry for the Colorwriter in your
/etc/printcap
file.
The following is a sample printcap entry for the Colorwriter. Note that the
remote host name you enter in the
rm
line must exactly match the name you
entered in the
/etc/hosts
file.

:
The name used in the
rp
line for configuring the Colorwriter (
xjprint
) is an
internal name that the Colorwriter requests. It must be
xjprint
; it is not a user-
selectable name. This is the only place where it is entered.
colorwriterq:\
:lp=:\
:rm=colorwriter:\
:rp=xjprint:\
:lf=/var/spool/lpd/colorwriterq/log:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/colorwriterq:\
:mx#0:sf
:sb
The spool directory
colorwriterq
is specified here, and the directory itself is created
in Step 3. Similarly, the log file is specified here and created in Step 4. The spool
directory is write-protected (from everyone but a daemon user and daemon
group); users cannot modify or remove files other than their own.
N
OTE
:
When setting up an lpr queue to the Colorwriter, the system name for the
remote printer—
xjprint
—must be specified in lowercase letters.
3.
Create a spool directory for the Colorwriter in the
/var/spool
directory.
For example, enter the following:
mkdir -p /var/spool/lpd/colorwriterq
chown daemon /var/spool/lpd/colorwriterq
4.
Create the log files.
For example, enter the following:
cp /dev/null /var/spool/lpd/colorwriterq/log
5.
Reboot the machine.
