5. Enabling and Starting the Printer

The

lpc

command administrates the BSD print spooler. This command, probably given with its full

pathname, prompts

lpc>

. Entering

help

gives you an overview of all commands supporting this

tool. Use the

enable

command to notify the print spooler to accept print jobs for the printer. At this

time the spooler can take the print jobs without sending them to the printer. Sending can take place

only after the printer is enabled by the start command. A shortcut is the

command which is similiar

to the both commands described above. The

quit

command ends

lpc

Please enter the following commands:

# lpc

lpc> enable <printername>

lpc> start <printername>

lpc> quit

In our example these commands would be:

# lpc

lpc> enable printer

lpc> start printer

lpc> quit

Now the installation of the print server into the BSD print spooler is complete. Using the following

command the output filter of our example would be printed on the newly installed printer :

# lpr -Pprinter /etc/printserver/bsd.sh
