Other Systems
Other systems use similar programs to set up Print servers. These programs will generally ask
for the following information:
Requested information: You should use:
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
