7. Optionally, add another printcap entry (and issue another lpc start command)
for a second printer, using the
port_TEXT
port. This second printer name can
be used for printing text files.
Entries in /etc/printcap begin with a name for the printer or a list of names, separated
by | (a vertical bar). The entries used above are:
♦
lp=
The
lp
entry is used to specify a local printer device. Since the printer is a
remote printer, this entry should be blank.
♦
sd=
dir
The location of the printer’s local spool directory.
♦
mx#
blocks
The limit for print job files in the local spool directory; 0 means no
limit.
♦
rm=
address
The host where the remote printer is located, in this case the
HyperNet Fastprint print server.
♦
rp=
printer
The name of the printer on the remote host. For the HyperNet
Fastprint print server, the port name should be used. Note: this entry is case-
sensitive.

To allow printing to a printer attached to your HyperNet Fastprint network print
server from a SCO Unix System V/386 host,
1. Login as the superuser (root).
2. Add an entry for the print server in the host’s /etc/hosts file, giving a hostname
for the print server’s IP address. A line in /etc/hosts contains an IP address and
one or more aliases for the host. For example:
202.39.74.40 ps-142634 ps-142634.dlink.com.tw
If you use DNS (the Domain Naming Services protocol), you can add an address
record entry to your DNS database for the print server.
3. Change to the
/dev
directory, and issue the command
mkdev rlp
