Do not use the Linux X-Windows graphical user interface printer
configuration utility, because it does not work with Paxar print servers.
Instead, Linux users should follow the configuration steps listed in this
section.

SCO UNIX users should use the rlpconf command to create a printer and
automatically configure the /etc/printcap file (you will still need to edit the
/etc/hosts file). Enter the print server's service name (MONxxxxxx_P1) as
the name of the printer (refer to the print server self-test for the exact
name of this service), and enter the name of the print server that you
assigned in the /etc/hosts file as the remote host name; note that
because this name must be unique for each printer, we recommend using
the MONxxxxxx_P1 service instead of the normal BINARY_P1 service.

1. Edit the /etc/hosts file: (or equivalent local host table). For example:
192.189.207.33 monprinter
2. Edit the printcap file: An example of a typical entry in the printcap file is:
MonarchPrinter:\
:lp=:\
:rm=MON:\
:rp=BINARY_P1:\
:sd=/usr/spool/lpd/MonarchPrinter:
:lp=:\
:rm=MON:\
:rp=BINARY_P1:\
:sd=/usr/spool/lpd/MonarchPrinter:
"MonarchPrinter" is the queuename.
"MON" matches the name in the hosts file.
"BINARY_P1" is the print server's service name.
Note: Use TEXT_P1 instead of BINARY_P1 for text files."sd" is the spool
directory.
