lprsetup(8)
Name
lprsetup − line printer spooler set up program
Syntax
/etc/lprsetup
Description
The lprsetup command provides an interactive easy-to-use facility for administrating the line printers on your system. The lprsetup program contains on-line help and default answers to questions about adding, deleting, or changing the characteristics of any of the line printers on your system. Whenever a question is asked, the default selection is given in [ ] . You can just enter <return> in response to the question to accept the default, or enter an alternate value for the given parameter.
The program knows about all of the possible symbols in the /etc/printcap file. See printcap() for a current list. After you have entered a printer specification, and have verified that it is correct, lprsetup then creates the spooling directory, links the output filter, and creates an /etc/printcap entry for the new printer.
If the printer is connected to the local processor, however, you must specify the printer device name which will be in the lp printcap entry.
