- This is a full port of the Berekely lpr/lpd print spooling/remote
- printing system. I believe someone else did an earlier port, but I
- could not find it. It requires kernel tcp (inet sockets.). I've
- added slightly to the printcap format to give people with serial
- printers more control over termios. These are the relevant changes
-
- br - Baudrate (set first.)
-
- fc \
- fs / oflags clear and set.
-
- xc \
- xs / lflags clear and set.
-
- ifc \
- ifs / iflags clear and set.
-
- cfc \
- cfs / cflags clear and set
-
- The printcap.5 man page should describe the format of the rest.
-
- lpd, lpc, pac, and printcap are in /usr/etc (not /etc since they are not
- needed at boot time.)
-
- hosts.equiv and hosts.lpd are in /usr/etc/inet.
-
- lpr, lprm, lpq, and lptest should all be setgid daemon.
- /usr/spool/lp1 should be owned by daemon group daemon with permission 0660.
-
- As packaged you should have a set up for a parallel printer named lp
- on /dev/lp1 with the spool file /spool/lp1. You will need to add the
- line /usr/etc/lpd to your /etc/rc file.
