TCP/IP Configuration
4 - 16
This will create a host queue named eps_prt. The rm parameter is the name of the EPS in
the host's address file, the rp parameter is the name of the service as it exists on the EPS,
and the sd parameter specifies the name of a directory used to hold temporary spooling files.
3. Create a world-writable spooling directory using the mkdir command.
4. If desired, use the mx option to allow unlimited size files to be printed and the sh option to
prevent header pages from being generated. See the host's documentation or man pages for
more information on the format of the printcap file and how to create the spool directory.
5. Print to the queue using normal lpr commands:
4.4.1 LPR on AIX Hosts
LPR has only been tested on AIX versions 3.2 and higher. The System Management Interface
Tool (SMIT) allows you to enable LPD printing and create print queues.
# mkdir /usr/spool/lpd/eps_prt
# chmod 777 /usr/spool/lpd/eps_prt
% lpr -Peps_prt /etc/hosts
