path_to_spool_directory – This is the path to a directory where the print jobs will be
spooled for this queue. You must create a unique spool directory for each printcap entry.
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 carriage return/line
feed, you may need two separate printcap 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=MYQUEUELF2:\
:sd=/usr/spool/myqueuelf2:\
:lf=/usr/spool/myqueuelf2/queue.log
NOTE: Each printcap entry must have a different spool directory to work
properly.

Configuring System 5 for Printing with the ZebraNet
This section describes the configuration of the printing system on the UNIX operating
system. For clarity and brevity, the following specific names will be used to represent general
devices or concepts.
lj4 – The local queue name on the UNIX system to which print
jobs that are destined for a printer attached to the ZebraNet will be directed.
ZEBRAPRINTER – The host name of the remote system which is the ZebraNet.
For example, to telnet to the ZebraNet and invoke the ZebraNet Configuration utility, you
would type telnet ZEBRAPRINTER. A host name is not required for the ZebraNet, the IP
Address may be used.
yourqueuename – This is the name of the queue on the ZebraNet and must
end with 1, 2, 3 or 4, depending on the port selected to service the print jobs. If FF, LF or NF
are the last two letters of the queue name, the job will be converted accordingly.
Prerequisites
Before you proceed, the following prerequisites must be met:
•
The name ZEBRAPRINTER and the IP address assigned to the ZebraNet are in the
“/etc/hosts” file on the UNIX system.
•
Make sure the LPD daemon is running on the UNIX system.
