Defining Printers on System V UNIX

Before using LPR to print files, you must define each printer on the host. The procedure for defining printers depends on the type of host.

Note:

You must be a system administrator to perform this procedure.

Note the following system-specific information. You can use the specified configuration utility to define your printer.

Warning!

Using the /etc/hosts.equiv file has serious security implications. Use the /etc/hosts.lpd file, if possible.
