10.7.7 Remote Printer Characteristics
If a printer will be used by users on remote machines, /etc/printcap
files on the local machine attached to the printer and on the remote
machines that will use the printer must contain some network
configuration information.
On the local machine attached to the printer you must specify the rs
symbol, which specifies a Boolean value that takes only a true (yes) or false
(no) value, along with the other printer configuration symbols. If you define
the value as true, remote users must have an account on the local machine
that is attached to the printer. If you define the value as false, remote users
can access the local printer if the local printer is listed in the .hosts file.
Refer to Section 10.7.3 for an example of an /etc/printcap file.
On the remote machine that will use the printer, you must specify the rm,
rp, lp, and sd symbols.
The rm symbol specifies the name of the machine attached to the printer.
For example:
rm=deccom
The rp symbol specifies the printer spool name on the remote system. For
example:
rp=ln03lab
For remote printers, you should specify the lp symbol without a value:
lp=
The sd symbol specifies the spooling directory. For example:
sd=/usr/spool/lpd
10.7.8 Pagination and Imaging Parameters
Printer filters must know the size of an output page to perform proper page
framing and line-feed and carriage returns (line folding).
For line printers, the pl and pw parameters specify the page length in
number of lines (default is 66) and the column width in number of
constant-width characters (default is 132), respectively. For example:
