Unix Systems

BSD-type Systems
LPD printing is the recommended print method for BSD-type
systems.
Add the following line to your print cap file:
mp|mp104c printer:\
:sh:\
:lp=:rm=192.168.1.62:rp=mp:sd=/var/spool/lpd/mp:
•
mp is the short name for the printer
•
mp104c printer is the full printer name
•
lp= does not do anything, but is required by some
systems
•
rm=192.168.1.62 is the IP address of the printer
•
rp=mp specifies the queue name of the printer
•
sd=/var/spool/lpd/mp is the spool directory
