Defining Printers on System V UNIX

previous page next page

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.
