Configure the /etc/printcap file on each workstation to specify the 
local print queue, the NIC name (also called remote machine or 
rm), and the print server service name (also called remote printer, 
remote queue, or rp), and the spool directory. 

The following is an example of a typical printcap file:

Kodak1IPrinter on Floor 1:\

:lP=:\

:rm=KOD_003C51:\

:rp=BINARY_P1:\

:sd=/usr/spool/lpd/Kodak1:

This creates a queue named Kodak1 on the host computer that 
communicates to the NIC with a node name (rm) of 
KOD_003C51 and a service name (rp) of BINARY_P1 for printing 
files through the spool directory /usr/spool/lpd/Kodak1.

For HP/UX systems, use the same program to set up the remote 
printer.

1.

Enter sam, and select Peripheral Devices and then Add 
Remote Printer.

2.

Enter the following remote printer settings:

— Line printer name (user selectable).

— Remote system name. The name of the NIC must match 

the name in the hosts file NIC or use the NIC IP address.

— Remote printer queue (NIC binary or text service name).

— Remote Printer is on a BSD System (Yes).

The RS/6000 AIX operating system uses the smit program to set 
up the remote printer.

1.

Enter smit, and select devices.

2.

Select printer/plotter.
