7.3. Setting Up the Spooling System
To use printers with the LPD spooling system, you will need
to set up both your printer hardware and the LPD software.
This document describes two levels of setup:
- See section
Simple Printer Setup to learn how to connect a
printer, tell LPD how to communicate with it, and
print plain text files to the printer.
- See section
Advanced Printer Setup to find out how to print a
variety of special file formats, to print header
pages, to print across a network, to control access to
printers, and to do printer accounting.
