Setting up
|
|
.PP
|
|
The 4.3BSD release comes with the necessary programs
|
|
installed and with the default line printer queue
|
|
created.
|
|
If the system must be modified, the
|
|
makefile in the directory /usr/src/usr.lib/lpr
|
|
should be used in recompiling and reinstalling
|
|
the necessary programs.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The real work in setting up is to create the
|
|
.I printcap
|
|
file and any printer filters for printers not supported
|
|
in the distribution system.
|
|
.NH 2
|
|
Creating a printcap file
|
|
.PP
|
|
The
|
|
.I printcap
|
|
database contains one or more entries per printer.
|
|
A printer should have a separate spooling directory;
|
|
otherwise, jobs will be printed on
|
|
different printers depending on which printer daemon starts first.
|
|
This section describes how to create entries for printers that do not
|
|
conform to the default printer description (an LP-11 style interface to a
|
|
standard, band printer).
|
|
.NH 3
|
|
Printers on serial lines
|
|
.PP
|
|
When a printer is connected via a serial communication line
|
|
it must have the proper baud rate and terminal modes set.
|
|
The following example is for a DecWriter III printer connected
|
|
locally via a 1200 baud serial line.
|
|
.DS
|
|
.DT
|
|
lp|LA-180 DecWriter III:\e
|
|
:lp=/dev/lp:br#1200:fs#06320:\e
|
|
:tr=\ef:of=/usr/lib/lpf:lf=/usr/adm/lpd-errs:
|
|
.DE
|
|
The
|
|
.B lp
|
|
entry specifies the file name to open for output.
|
|
Here it could be left out since ``/dev/lp'' is the default.
|
|
The
|
|
.B br
|
|
entry sets the baud rate for the tty line and the
|
|
.B fs
|
|
entry sets CRMOD, no parity, and XTABS (see \fItty\fP\|(4)).
|
|
The
|
|
.B tr
|
|
entry indicates that a form-feed should be printed when the queue
|
|
empties so the paper can be torn off without turning the printer off-line and
|
|
pressing form feed.
|
|
The
|
|
.B of
|
|
entry specifies the filter program
|
|
.I lpf
|
|
should be used for printing the files;
|
|
more will be said about filters later.
|
|
The last entry causes errors
|
|
to be written to the file ``/usr/adm/lpd-errs''
|
|
instead of the console.
|
|
Most errors from \fIlpd\fP are logged using
|
|
\fIsyslogd\fP\|(8) and will not be logged in the specified file.
|
|
The filters should use \fIsyslogd\fP to report errors; only those that
|
|
write to standard error output will end up with errors in the \fBlf\fP file.
|
|
(Occasionally errors sent to standard error output have not appeared
|
|
in the log file; the use of \fIsyslogd\fP is highly recommended.)
|
|
.NH 3
|
|
Remote printers
|
|
.PP
|
|
Printers that reside on remote hosts should have an empty
|
|
.B lp
|
|
entry.
|
|
For example, the following printcap entry would send output to the printer
|
|
named ``lp'' on the machine ``ucbvax''.
|
|
.DS
|
|
.DT
|
|
lp|default line printer:\e
|
|
:lp=:rm=ucbvax:rp=lp:sd=/var/spool/output/vaxlpd:
|
|
.DE
|
|
The
|
|
.B rm
|
|
entry is the name of the remote machine to connect to; this name must
|
|
be a known host name for a machine on the network.
|
|
The
|
|
.B rm
|
|
entry can also specify the port number of the \fIlpd\fP
|
|
server on the remote host with the form ``port@host''.
|
|
The
|
|
.B rp
|
|
capability indicates
|
|
the name of the printer on the remote machine is ``lp'';
|
|
here it could be left out since this is the default value.
|
|
The
|
|
.B sd
|
|
entry specifies ``/var/spool/output/vaxlpd''
|
|
as the spooling directory instead of the
|
|
default value of ``/var/spool/output/lpd''.
|
|
.NH 2
|
|
Output filters
|
|
.PP
|
|
Filters are used to handle device dependencies and to
|
|
do accounting functions.
|
|
The output filtering of
|
|
.B of
|
|
is used when accounting is
|
|
not being done or when all text data must be passed through a filter.
|
|
It is not intended to do accounting since it is started only once,
|
|
all text files are filtered through it, and no provision is made for passing
|
|
owners' login name, identifying the beginning and ending of jobs, etc.
|
|
The other filters (if specified) are started for each file
|
|
printed and do accounting if there is an
|
|
.B af
|
|
entry.
|
|
If entries for both
|
|
.B of
|
|
and other filters are specified,
|
|
the output filter is used only to print the banner page;
|
|
it is then stopped to allow other filters access to the printer.
|
|
An example of a printer that requires output filters
|
|
is the Benson-Varian.

:tf=/usr/lib/rvcat:mx#2000:pl#58:px=2112:py=1700:tr=\ef:
|
|
.DE
|
|
The
|
|
.B tf
|
|
entry specifies ``/usr/lib/rvcat'' as the filter to be
|
|
used in printing \fItroff\fP\|(1) output.
|
|
This filter is needed to set the device into print mode
|
|
for text, and plot mode for printing
|
|
.I troff
|
|
files and raster images (see \fIva\fP\|(4V)).
|
|
Note that the page length is set to 58 lines by the
|
|
.B pl
|
|
entry for 8.5" by 11" fan-fold paper.
|
|
To enable accounting, the varian entry would be
|
|
augmented with an
|
|
.B af
|
|
filter as shown below.

Access Control
|
|
.PP
|
|
Local access to printer queues is controlled with the
|
|
.B rg
|
|
printcap entry.
|
|
.DS
|
|
:rg=lprgroup:
|
|
.DE
|
|
Users must be in the group
|
|
.I lprgroup
|
|
to submit jobs to the specified printer.
|
|
The default is to allow all users access.
|
|
Note that once the files are in the local queue, they can be printed
|
|
locally or forwarded to another host depending on the configuration.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Remote access is controlled by listing the hosts in either the file
|
|
/etc/hosts.equiv or /etc/hosts.lpd, one host per line.
|
|
Note that
|
|
.IR rsh (1)
|
|
and
|
|
.IR rlogin (1)
|
|
use /etc/hosts.equiv to determine which hosts are equivalent for allowing logins
|
|
without passwords.
|
|
The file /etc/hosts.lpd is only used to control
|
|
which hosts have line printer access.
|
|
Remote access can be further restricted to only allow remote users with accounts
|
|
on the local host to print jobs by using the \fBrs\fP printcap entry.
