1. Assigning the Ip Address

❒ Each entry is separated with colons into several fields. The syntax is to be-

gin each entry with a colon, followed by the entry, and then end with a co-

lon, a back slash, and then a return.

❒ The first line of the field is the name of the printer. You use this name when

logging on to a network printer from a workstation. You can define several

different names by separating each name with the "|" character.

❒ The second and following lines contain the printer's attributes. Attributes

of the printer are represented by two character names referred to as capa-

bilities. For more information about capabilities, see the following table.

Capability

❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ Making the spool directory

Create a spool directory under /var/spool/lpd. The name of the spool direc-

tory should be the name of the printer followed by a "d".

Note

❒ The spool directory is used to control the data used for a print job. For ex-

ample, when a print job is created, a temporary copy of the file data used

for printing is created in the spool directory. All workstations accessing the

network printer need to have a spool directory for the network printer.

❒ A spool directory should be made for every network printer entry listed in

the /etc/printcap file.

❒ The spool directory should normally be made under /var/spool/lpd and

the name should match that listed under the sd capability in /etc/printcap.

Change the owner and group of the directory to root and lp. The following

examples show how to make a /var/spool/lpd/npd spool directory.

# cd /var/spool/lpd

# mkdir npd

# chown root npd

# chgrp lp npd
