log_file_name
This is the path to a file where error information from
the lpd will be logged.
Example:
If you are printing to an ASCII printer that requires a car-
riage return/line feed, you may need two separate print-
cap entries: one entry for print jobs which terminate lines
with a carriage return/line feed, and another entry for
print jobs which terminate lines with a line feed only.
Your printcap entries might look like the following:
ascii_files|form.feed.Queue_on_Port_2
:\:lp=:mx#0:rm=pserver1:rp=MYQUEUEFF2
:\:sd=/usr/spool/myqueueff2:\:lf=/
usr/spool/myqueueff2/queue.log
asciilf_files|line.feed.Queue_on_Port
_2:\:lp=:mx#0:rm=pserver1:rp=MYQUEUEL
F2:\:sd=/usr/spool/myqueuelf2:\:lf=/
usr/spool/myqueuelf2/queue.log
Note: Each printcap entry must have a different
spool directory to work properly.
Remote LPD Printing
The way print jobs are queued to a Remote LPD sys-
tem varies among the vendors that support TCP/IP.
UNIX systems that are BSD-based typically use the
lpr
program to submit print jobs. Other UNIX systems may
use the
lp
program to submit print jobs. PC-based
TCP/IP packages often provide a command line
lpr
program and a utility to redirect the output of an LPT
port to a Remote LPD system.
Consult your system administrator or software vendor
for assistance troubleshooting LPD.
