6.5 Configure Remote LPD Printing on the
Host
The procedure you use to configure your Unix
host(s) to allow printing to your network remote print
server varies between different varieties of Unix. The
procedure below can be used for Unix variants that are
related to BSD Unix, such as 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 printer 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 a line such as:
203.66.191.186 pserver
2. Create a spool directory for the printer in the
same directory where spool directories are normally
