lprsetup(8) System Manager's Manual lprsetup(8) Name lprsetup - printer spooler set up program Syntax /etc/lprsetup Description The command provides an interactive easy-to-use facility for administrating the line printers on your system. The 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 press 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 file. See for a current list. After you have entered a printer specification, and have verified that it is correct, then creates the spooling directory, links the output filter, and creates an entry for the new printer. If the printer is connected to your system, you must specify the printer device name which is in the lp printcap entry. If lp is set to nn you are prompted to choose between or If your printer is connected to a port on your system, choose the default setting, If you choose you are prompted for the baud rate, br. The default is the recommended baud rate for the printer. If you want to set up your printer to a LAT line, choose the option. At this point, proceeds only if you have chosen a valid LAT device for lp. It assumes that the LAT device has been configured for host initiated connections using If it has not, you must do this before the queue works. For information about how to set up a LAT line, see Chapter 3 of the Guide to Ethernet Communications Servers. If lp is set to another device, for example the program assumes that you are setting up a printer with a parallel port, for example, It does not prompt you for device type information, and serial port specific entries are not put into the entry.

lpc(8) System Manager's Manual lpc(8) Name lpc - line printer control program Syntax /etc/lpc [ command [ argument... ] ] Description The program is used by the system administrator to control the operation of the line printer system. For each line printer with an entry in the file, may be used to start/stop several different functions. Without any arguments, prompts for commands from the standard input. If arguments are supplied, interprets the first argument as a command and the remaining arguments as parameters to the command. The standard input may be redirected causing to read commands from file. The commands and their parameters are shown below. Commands may be abbreviated. ? [ command... ] help [ command... ] Prints a short description of each command specified in the argument list, or, if no arguments are given, a list of the recognized commands. abort [ all ] [ printer... ] Terminates an active spooling daemon on the local host immediately and then disables printing (preventing new daemons from being started by for the specified printers. clean [ all ] [ printer... ] Removes all files beginning with ``cf'', ``tf'', or ``df'' from the specified printer queue(s) on the local machine. enable [ all ] [ printer... ] Enables spooling on the local queue for the listed printers. This will allow to put new jobs in the spool queue. exit quit Exits from disablefR [ all ] [ printer... ] Turns off the specified printer queues. This prevents new printer jobs from being entered into the queue by restart [ all ] [ printer... ] Attempts to start a new printer daemon. This is useful when some abnormal condition causes the daemon to die unexpectedly leaving jobs in the queue. The command will report that there is no daemon present when this condition occurs. start [ all ] [ printer... ] Enables printing and starts a spooling daemon for the listed printers. This command also creates an file in the printer's spool directory. The file can be used by filters as an initialization flag. status [ all ] [ printer... ] Displays the status of daemons and queues on the local machine. stop [ all ] [ printer... ] Stops a spooling daemon after the current job completes and disables printing. topq printer [ jobnum... ] [ user... ] Places the jobs in the order listed at the top of the printer queue. Diagnostics ?Ambiguous command Abbreviation matches more than on command. ?Invalid command No match was found. ?Privileged command The command can only be executed by root.
