2. Create a spool directory for the printer in the same directory
where spool directories are normally kept on the machine, such
as /var/spool or /var/spool/lpd:
mkdir /var/spool/lpd/pserverd
chown daemon /var/spool/lpd/pserverd
chgrp daemon /var/spool/lpd/pserverd
chmod 775 /var/spool/lpd/pserverd
3. Add an entry to the host’s /etc/printcap file, similar to the
following:
printer-name:\
:lp=:\
:rm=203.66.191.186:\
:rp=lpt1:\
:lf=/var/spool/lpd/pserverd.log:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/pserverd:\
:mx#0:
Lines should be indented with tabs. More than one printer name
can be used, with variants separated by vertical bars
(name1|name2).
The rm= entry should correspond to the IP address you have
assigned to the MFP Server. You can also use a host name if you
have assigned one in the /etc/hosts file.
The sd= entry should correspond to the spool directory you
created in the previous step.
The rp= entry should correspond to the port name of the remote
printer. The values should be one of lpt1, lpt2 or lpt3 depends on
the printer port.
The MFP Server should now be available for printing from your
Unix/Linux host.
