Printing Queues
Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD)-Style Print Queue

BSD is a version of the UNIX OS that distributes software that includes TCP/IP.

For remote BSD-style LPD printing, add the print server as a remote printer in the 
/etc/printcap database to each host printing to any print server. 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 print server. 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.

path_to_spool_directory

 — This is the path to a directory where the print jobs will 

be spooled for this queue. You must create a unique spool directory for each printcap entry.

log_file_name

 — This is the path to a file where error information from the LPD will be 

logged. 

Important • You must be logged in as root.

Example • Your printcap entries might look similar to this:

Ascii_files|form.feed.Queue_on_Port_1:\

:lp=:mx#0:rm=pserver1:rp=MYQUEUELF1:\

:sd=/usr/spool/myqueuelf1:\

:lf=/usr/spool/myqueuelf1/queue.log

Important • Each printcap entry must have a different spool directory to work properly.
