CHAPTER 1 UNIX PRINTING 

1-5

 

The rm and rp options are not available on some UNIX systems, so if necessary 
check your documentation (or man pages) to determine the equivalent options. 
 
Users of Berkeley-compatible UNIX systems can use the lpc command to obtain 
the printer status: 
 

%lpc status 
laser1: 
queuing is enabled 
printing is enabled 
no entries 
no daemon present 

 
Users of AT&T-compatible UNIX systems can generally use the lpstat or rlpstat 
commands to obtain similar status information. Because this procedure varies 
from system to system, refer to your system documentation for the exact usage.  
 

4.  Skip this section if you have completed Step 3, unless you have an SCO 

UNIX system. 

 
If you have an HP/UX system, IBM RS/6000 AIX computer, or Sun Solaris 
2.xx, there is no printcap file. This is also true for some other AT&T-based 
UNIX systems, as well as many VMS-based TCP/IP software packages (for 
example, UCX, TGV Multinet, etc.). On SCO systems, there is a printcap 
file, but it is automatically configured by the rlpconf command. Most of 
these systems generally use a printer setup program to define the service 
name (remote printer), the print server name (remote machine) or IP address, 
and the local queue name (spool directory).  Refer to the appropriate section 
depending on your version of Unix.
