The printcap entries you have made up to this point appear on the dis-

Do not change the device name in the
/etc/printcap
file, which was

ence the
:lp
entry recorded in the printcap file. The following shows an
example entry.
<printer name> | Print Server Card printer:\
:lp=/dev/<printer name>:\
:if=/usr/nic/infilter:\
:sd=/usr/spool/<printer name>:

The script creates a spool directory in
/usr/spool
and starts a daemon
for the newly configured printer. At this time, the script displays the
path you should use if you ever need to restart the daemon.
Example:
/usr/nic/lpr_print /dev/nic/<printer name> print-
fast 10001 &
