Configuring print queues for BSD-based systems

Edit the /etc/printcap file to include the following entries:

printer_name|short_printer_name:\

:lp=:\

:rm=node_name:\

:rp=remote_printer_name_argument:\

(this can be any queue name desired by the user)

:lf=/usr/spool/lpd/error_log_filename:\

:sd=/usr/spool/lpd/printer_name:

where

printer_name

identifies the all-in-one to the user,

node_name

identifies the all-in-one on

the network, and

remote_printer_name_argument

is the print queue designation.
