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.
