CHAPTER 1 UNIX PRINTING 

1-13

 

 
Other systems use similar programs to set up print servers. These programs will 
generally ask for the following information: 
 

remote printer 

Binary or Text service name 

remote host computer name 

Any name (must match the name in the 
printcap file, if any) or in some cases, 
you may enter the print server IP 
address here 

remote host IP address 

IP address of print server. 

 
Technical support specialists for these companies can usually answer 
configuration questions if you provide them with the equivalent UNIX 
configuration information (tell them that the print server looks like a remote 
UNIX host computer running the lpd line printer daemon). 
 
If you have not created a spool directory for the Brother print server on your 
UNIX host computer, you will need to do so now (the printer setup utilities in 
HP/UX, AIX, Solaris 2.xx, and other systems will automatically create the spool 
directory). The lpd spool directory is usually located in the /usr/spool directory 
(check with your system manager to see if the location is different for your 
system). To create a new spool directory, use the mkdir command. For example, 
to create a spool directory for the queue laser1, you would enter: 
 

mkdir /usr/spool/lpd/laser1 

 
On some systems it is also necessary to start the daemon. This is done on 
Berkeley-compatible UNIX systems with the lpc start command as shown in the 
following example:  
 

lpc start laser1
