Step 4. Make the directory available to LPD main process
Basically, the method has the following three procedures:
1) Assign the spooling daemon as the owner of this directory.
2) Allow the spooling daemon to be able to read from or write to the directory.
3) Enable the group of LPD main processes to be able to read from or write to the directory.
e.g. If it works on a BSD UNIX host and makes the directory /usr/ spool/ETPS1 (created in step 3) available, then follow
these three procedures:
chown daemon /usr/spool/ETPS1
chmod 775 /usr/spool/ETPS1
chgrp daemon /usr/spool/ETPS1
Step 5. Add a remote printer
To add a remote printer, insert a block similar to the following in the /etc/printcap file.
Printer_name|Remote Printer on Ethernet Terminal:\
:lp=:\
:rm=PS_NAME:\
:rp=Logic_Printer_name:\
:sd=<full path of spooler directory name>:\
e.g. If Ethernet Terminal works on a BSD UNIX host, then insert the following block into /etc/printcap file.
ETPS1|Remote Printer on Ethernet Terminal:\
:lp=:\
:rm=ETPS1:\
:rp=L1:\
:sd=/usr/spool/ETPS1:\
Step 6. Start CPU's print mechanism for BSD version UNIX system
Typing: lpc start printer_name [Enter]
e.g. lpc start ETPS1 [Enter]
Now the Ethernet Terminal is configured to accept LPD printing..
7.3 LPD printing
LPD protocol is built-in to most of the UNIX system. However, detailed implementation of LPD differs among UNIX systems.
Please refer to the UNIX administration guide for reference. The following illustrated printing command is under BSD system or
System V version.
For BSD system: lpr -P <printer_name><filename>
For System V version: lp -d <printer_name><filename>
This command is to print selected file to the selected printer.
e.g. lpr -PETPS1 /etc/hosts (BSD version) or lp -dETPS1 /etc/hosts (System V version)
This example is to print the /etc/hosts file to the Ethernet Terminal printer.
