BSD-type Systems
LPD printing is the recommended print method for BSD-type
systems.
Add the following line to your print cap file:
mp|mp104c printer:\
:sh:\
:lp=:rm=192.168.1.62:rp=mp:sd=/var/spool/lpd/mp:
• mp is the short name for the printer
• mp104c printer is the full printer name
• lp= does not do anything, but is required by some
systems
• rm=192.168.1.62 is the IP address of the printer
• rp=mp specifies the queue name of the printer
• sd=/var/spool/lpd/mp is the spool directory
System V

Ex: 192.168.1.70 – markp
2. Activate markp.
Ex: lpadmin –t bsd markp
3. Add printer.
Ex: lpadmin –p printername –s markp!mp
4. Enable printername.
5. Accept printername.
6. Send a textfile.
Ex: lp –d printername testfile.txt
