7.6.2.1 Setting Up a BSD Remote Printer to Use lpd
To set up a remote printer on the host that sends jobs to Network Interface Board using
printer-resident
lpd
, add an entry to the
/etc/printcap
file on your host for each
printer you use.
The steps are described below.
1.
Open the
/etc/printcap
file. Make an entry naming the Network Interface
Board as the remote host and PORT1 as the remote printer name. A typical
printcap entry is shown below:
< printer_name> \
(for example, lprprinter)
:lp=:\
:rm=<remote_host>:\
(for example, name as entered in /etc/hosts)
:rp=PORT1:\
:sd=/usr/spool/lpd/
<printer_name>:
(for example, spool directory on system used to
spool data and control files)
This entry will send jobs spooled at
/usr/spool/lpd/<
printer_name>
to the
printer designated <
printer_name>
to be printed at
lp
(the internal connection to
the printer) of the Network Interface Board designated as
<remote_host
>.
2.
Create the spooling directory. For example, type:
mkdir /usr/spool/lpd/
<printer_name>
3.
To print via the spooler, use the
lpr
command. Type:
lpr -P<
printer_name>
<
file_name>
Installation and testing is done. You are now ready to print.
7.7 Running
Telnet
The Telnet utility uses the standard remote terminal protocol to configure the IP address,
lpd
/
lpr
printers, and other parameters on your system. You have the same functionality
with Telnet as with accessing the Network Interface Board HTML pages with MAP or a
Web browser (see Chapter 3,
Monitoring the Network Interface Board
).
Use the following guidelines to run Telnet:
• Typically you make selections from menus by toggling between one choice or
another, by selecting/deselecting or enabling/disabling an item.
•Press
Enter
when not selecting an item. This returns you to a previous menu.
