system. Use the pac program to summarize information stored in the
printer accounting files. This file must be owned by user daemon and group
daemon, which it will be if you use the lprsetup program to specify the
printer accounting file.
The af parameter is not applicable for remote printer entries because the
accounting policy for remote printers is employed at their (remote) systems.
Accounting is accomplished through programs called print filters. The
lprsetup script does prompt you for the line print filter information. You
must specify this information when you are prompted at the end of the
lprsetup display for symbols to modify. Two print filter symbols, if and
of, are needed for accounting. You modify them at this point. For example:
if=/usr/lbin/ln03rof
of=/usr/lbin/ln03rof
If you want to use separate accounting files for each printer on your
system, the file names must be unique. However, an unlimited number of
printers can share an accounting file. You cannot specify an accounting file
for remote printers.
Accounting files must be owned by the print daemon. If you specify an
accounting file, intermediate directories are automatically created as
needed.
_______________________ Note _______________________
Printer accounting does not work for PostScript files.
10.5.1.6 Spooler Directory
The sd parameter specifies the spooling directory where files are queued
before they are printed. Each spooling directory should be unique. All
printcap file entries must specify a spooling directory, both local and
remote.
When the spooling directory is created, intermediate directories are created
as necessary.
10.5.1.7 Error Log File
The lf parameter specifies the log file where errors are reported. The
default log file, if one is not specified, is /dev/console. If you have more
than one printer on your system, give each log file a unique name.
When the error log file is created, intermediate directories in the pathname
are created as necessary.
