Adding Remote
Printers
A remote printer is added by inserting the following line in the /etc/printcap file.
The entry is really one line, but can be entered as shown.
Use a TAB character where shown.
Where:
printer_name is the Print Queue name used to store jobs for the corresponding logical
printer
PS_NAME is the IOPRINT+ Print Server name defined in /etc/hosts
Logical_Printer_name is the logical printer name on the IOPRINT+ Print Server (L1..L3 or
L1..L8, depending on your model)
Spooler_directory is the directory you created in Step 6.
Example:
Repeat this process for each Logical Printer/Print Queue combination that you wish to
create.
