NAME
printcap - printer capability data base

SYNOPSIS
printcap database

DESCRIPTION
The format of the LPRng printcap database was based on the termcap(5) data
base file format. Entries in the printcap Each entry in the data base is
used to define various options and values to control the printing and
spooling of print jobs.

LPD.CONF, SYSTEM AND USER PRINTCAP FILES
Default configuration values are read from the LPRng configuration file
/etc/lpd.conf, consult the lpd.conf(5) man page for details about them.
The system printcap file /etc/printcap contains information common to all
users and the LPRng printing system. Finally, the user printcap files is
in ${HOME}/.printcap and contain user configurable information for printer
information. The values in the user printcap file override values in the
printcap file which override the default values in the /etc/lpd.conf file.

The user printcap file is used by client programs such as lpr , lprm , lpq
, and lpq to allow the user to define either a special set of printers,
provide additional configuration information, or to modify default set-
tings in the /etc/printcap, or /etc/lpd.conf file.
