Adding Remote Printers
A remote printer is added by inserting the following line in the /etc/printcap file.
Note: The entry is really one line, but can be entered as shown. Use a TAB
character where shown.
Printer_name|Remote_Printer_Alias:\
[Tab] :lp=:\
[Tab] :rm=PS_NAME:\
[Tab] :rp=Logical_Printer_name:\
[Tab] :sd=Spooler_directory:\
[Tab] :mx#0:
Where:
Printer_name is the Print Queue name used to store jobs for the corresponding
logical printer.
PS_NAME is the Wireless USB Print Server name defined in /etc/hosts.
Logical_Printer_name is the logical printer name on the Wireless USB Print Server.
(e.g. L1)
Spooler_directory is the directory you created.
Example:
Marketing|RP1_PS123456:\
[Tab] :lp=:\
[Tab] :rm=PS_Rm203:\
[Tab] :rp=L1:\
[Tab] :sd=/usr/spool/Marketing:\
[Tab] :mx#0:
Repeat this process for each Logical Printer/Print Queue combination that you wish to
create.
