For remote BSD-style LPD printing, add the 10⁄100 PS as a remote printer in the /etc/

printcap database to each host printing to the 10⁄100 PS. You can add printcap

options as needed. If you are unfamiliar with these options, consult the printer

documentation.

The entry looks similar to this:

local_print_queue_name|[printer_model_and_manufacturer]

:lp=:mx#0:rm=ZebraNet_name:\

:rp=remote_print_queue_name:\

:sd=path_to_spool_directory:lf=just log_file_name

local_print_queue_name — This defines the name of the printcap entry. It is

used by the LPR/LPD utilities to specify which printcap entry is being referenced.

Additional printcap entries can be added as needed for different queue types. Each

entry must have a unique local_print_queue_name and a different spool directory to

work properly. When you are ready to print, use the local_print_queue_name that

matches the data type of the file to be printed.

ZebraNet_name — This is the name (alias) of the ZebraNet 10⁄100 PS. This must

be the same name as entered in the /etc/ hosts file or your NIS or DNS system. An

IP address may also be used here.

remote_print_queue_name — This entry determines the ZebraNet port where

the print job will be printed and optionally specifies ASCII printing that must end for

LF1.

Important • You must be logged in as root.
