6.5 Configure Remote lpd Printing on the Host
You can use this procedure to configure your Unix
host(s) to allow printing to your network. The
procedure below can be used for Unix variants that
are related to BSD Unix, like SunOS or Linux. For
other versions of Unix, consult your system
documentation, keeping in mind that:
1. The print server should be treated as a BSD
networked print server host.
2. The host name should be the name (or IP address)
that you have assigned to the print server.
3. The printer name (or queue name) on the remote
host should be lpt1, lpt2 or lpt3, the name of the
parallel port on the print server.
You will need to perform the tasks below, logged in
as the superuser (root). To configure your Unix host
for printing,
1. Optionally, assign a name corresponding to the
print server’s IP address. You can add this address
to the /etc/hosts file, by adding the following line:
203.66.191.186 pserver
2. Create a spool directory for the printer in the
same directory where spool directories are normally
kept on the machine, such as /var/spool or
/var/spool/lpd:
