Installation guide

You must have superuser privileges to run the lprsetup program.
Depending on the type of printer you are adding and the information you
provide, the lprsetup program might do the following:
• Create, or edit the existing /etc/printcap file
• Create a spooling directory
• Create an error log file
• Create an accounting file
• Create the device special files
• Prompt you to modify previously selected symbols
When you run the lprsetup script, the first display is the main menu:
# /usr/sbin/lprsetup
