4. Verify connectivity to the DocuSP controller by entering the
following command:
ping printsrv
If your machine can see the DocuSP controller from the net
you will see:
printsrv is alive
5. Add an entry for each queue to the /etc/printcap file similar to
the following example:
proofqueue:\
:lp=:\
:rm=printsrv:\
:rp=proofqueue:\
:mx#0:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/printsrv/
proofqueue:
proofqueue: the local client name for the remote queue. This
can be different from the queue name at the DocuSP
controller, although differences could cause confusion.
lp=: the local device name for printer output; for remote
printers it is required that this parameter be set to nothing.
rm: the DocuSP controller hostname.
rp: the queue name or remote printer name. This name must
match the name of a queue defined on the DocuSP
controller.
mx#0: the maximum size of the submitted document is
unlimited.
sd=: the local spool directory.
6. Create the spool directory identified in the printcap file and
set the ownership and access attributes. For example:
cd /var/spool/lpd
mkdir printsrv
cd printsrv
mkdir proofqueue
chmod 744 proofqueue
chgrp daemon proofqueue
