-## The Super Quick Guide to LPRng Printcaps
-## Patrick Powell <papowell@lprng.com>

-# VERSION=3.7.4
-#
-# This printcap provides a very simple way to configure your UNIX
-# or Linux or MS or Apple LPRng printcap. There are several choices
-# to make and some default printcap entries to use. These handle
-# the majority of printing setups for most simple setups.
-#
-# Step 1: Send all jobs to LPD running on Local Host or Remote Host?
-#
-# If you want to send all jobs to the LPD spooler running on the localhost
-# uncomment the following line. This is the normal case for most
-# single user systems with attached printers or simple network printers.
-#
-#lp:force_localhost:client
-#*:force_localhost:client
-# [Translation:
-# lp - default print queue . If you do not want 'lp' to be the
-# to be the default print queue, set it to the appropriate value
-# * - wildcard matches all print queue names, and simply causes
-# the supplied name to be used as the destination print queue.
-# :force_localhost - connect to the server running on the localhost
-# :client - for lpr,lpq,lprm, and lpc to use to get information
-# ]
-#
-# If you want to send all jobs to the LPD spooler running on REMOTEHOST
-# then uncomment the next line and change REMOTEHOST to the IP
-# address or Fully Qualified Domain Name of REMOTEHOST. If you are
-# using this entry then your printcap configuration is complete
-# and you can skip the other steps.
-#
-#lp:force_localhost@:client:rm=REMOTEHOST
-#*:force_localhost@:client:rm=REMOTEHOST
-# [Translation:
-# lp - default print queue . If you do not want 'lp' to be the
-# to be the default print queue, set it to the appropriate value
-# * - wildcard matches all print queue names, and simply causes
-# the supplied name to be used as the destination print queue.
-# :force_localhost@ - do not connect to localhost, use :rm information
-# :client - for lpr,lpq,lprm, and lpc to use to get information
-# :rm=REMOTEHOST - the IP address or Fully Qualified Domain Name of
-# REMOTEHOST. All jobs will be sent there
-# ]
-#
-# Step 2: Default options?
-#
-# The printcap entry below sets defaults. Add any other default option
-# you want here.
-#
-.common:
- :sd=/var/spool/lpd/%P
- :sh:sf:mx=0:mc=0
-#
-# [Translation:
-# .common - the period (.) causes LPRng to treat this as a 'information
-# only entry. This idea was stolen^H^H^H^H^H^H borrowed from the Unix
-# 'hidden' file convention, i.e. file names starting with a period
-# are not displayed by 'ls' or matched by '*'
-# :sd=/var/spool/lpd/%P
-# Spool queue directory for temporary storage of print jobs. The
-# %P will be expanded with the print queue name. Each print queue
-# MUST have a different spool queue directory, and by using %P
-# this is guaranteed.
-# :sh - suppress banners or header pages
-# :sf - suppress form feeds
-# :mx=0 - maximum job size in K bytes (0 is unlimited)
-# :mc=0 - maximum number of copies (0 is unlimited)
-# ]
-#
-# Step 3: Define print queues
-#
-# A) printer on parallel port (i.e. - /dev/lpt0)
-#lp:lp=DEVICE:tc=.common:server
-# Example:
-# lp:tc=.common:server:lp=/dev/lpt0
-# [Translation:
-# lp - name of the print queue
-# :tc=.common - include the options in the .common printcap entry
-# the 'tc' options will be put at the START of the printcap entry
-# :server - marked as only for lpd server use
-# :lp=/dev/lpt0 - open and write the print job to /dev/lpt0
-# ]
-#
-# B) printer on serial port
-# Use the :stty to set the speed, bits, and parity using 'stty(1)'
-# options. Note: almost all printers use 8 bits, no parity.
-#lp:tc=.common:server:lp=DEVICE:stty=STTY OPTIONS
-# Example:
-# lp:tc=.common:server:lp=/dev/tty0:stty=19200 cs8 -parenb
-# [Translation: lp, :tc, :server, :lp as for A) above.
-# :stty= options used to configure serial port after
-# opening it
-# ]
-#
-# C) printer on Network Print Server (i.e. - HP JetDirect)
-# connecting via a TCP/IP socket. IPADDR is IP address or Fully Qualified
-# Domain Name of the print server, PORT is the TCP/IP port.
-#
-# HP JetDirect uses port 9100 by default.
-#
-# Warning: check the Network Print Server documentation for correct
-# port number. Most non-HP Network Print Servers and non-HP printers
-# do not use port 9100.
-#
-#lp:tc=.common:server:lp=IPADDR%PORT
-# Example:
-# lp:tc=.common:server:lp=10.0.0.2%9100
-# [Translation: lp, :tc, :server as for A) above.
-# lp=10.0.0.2%9100 - open a connection to 10.0.0.2, port 9100
-# and write the print job to this port.
-# ]
-#
-# D) printer on Network Print Server (i.e. - HP JetDirect or LPD server)
-# connecting via the LPD print protocol. QUEUE is the name of the
-# print queue and IPADDR is the IP address or Fully Qualified Domain
-# Name of the print server.
-#
-# Warning: check the Network Print Server documentation for correct
-# QUEUE name. The 'lp' queue is used on the HP JetDirect as the
-# default print queue. If there are multiple printer ports on the
-# device then the QUEUE name is used to select the port.
-#
-# Warning: Using this protocol with JetDirect units will almost always
-# cause a 'banner page' to be generated by the JetDirect unit.
-# Check the HP documentation on how to disable this most annoying feature.
-# Usually you simply telnet to the JetDirect and then use the
-# simple configuration menu presented when you first make connection.
-#
-#lp:tc=.common:server:lp=QUEUE@IPADDR
-#
-# Example:
-# lp:tc=.common:server:lp=lp@10.0.0.2
-# [Translation: lp, :tc, :server as for A) above.
-# lp=lp@10.0.0.2 - open a connection to 10.0.0.2, port 515,
-# and use the RFC1179 (LPD) protocol to transfer the job
-# to the QUEUE print queue.
-# ]
-#
-# Step 4: Format Conversion (Filter) Required?
-#
-# You may discover that your printer does not support PostScript or
-# requires a special initialization to be done. This is handled
-# by a filter program. The 'ifhp' filter program is supplied with
-# LPRng and supports a very wide number of printers. If you need
-# to have a filter, then add the following lines to the printcap
-# entry:
-#
-# :filter=PATH_TO_IFHP_FILTER
-# :ifhp=IFHP_OPTIONS
-#
-# Note: the LPRng :filter= option replaces the legacy BSD lpd options
-# :if, :vf, ... options that specify filters for 'f' format, 'v' format,
-# and so forth (yes, yes, :if is for 'f' format, don't ask).
-# The :filter option specifies a default filter for all job formats.
-# Most modern filters such as IFHP, Magikfilter, and RedHat print
-# filters are smart enough to determine the job format and perform
-# the appropriate conversions.
-#
-# Examples:
-#
-# lp:tc=.common:server:lp=/dev/lpt0
-# :filter=/usr/libexec/filters/ifhp
-# :ifhp=model=hp4simx
-#
-# lp:tc=.common:server:lp=10.0.0.2%9100
-# :filter=/usr/libexec/filters/ifhp
-# :ifhp=model=hp4simx
-#
-# lp:tc=.common:server:lp=lp@10.0.0.2
-# :filter=/usr/libexec/filters/ifhp
-# :ifhp=model=hp4simx
-#
-# IFHP Options:
-# For almost all simple configurations you will only need to
-# supply the model of printer that you have attached. See the
-# /etc/ifhp.conf file for a complete listing of supported models.
-# The default model is for an HP Laserjet 4 SiMx, which supports
-# PostScript, PCL, and PJL.
-#
-# Warning:
-# IF:
-# Your model of printer normally provides status and error
-# reporting over a TCP/IP link
-# AND:
-# You are using lp=IPADDR%PORT to connect to the printer
-# THEN:
-# The IFHP filter will normally expect to have status information
-# returned by the printer to tell it that the printer is in working
-# condition. This will have a small but significant overhead
-# on job throughput, but you will also get error information.
-#
-# HOWEVER:
-# If the printer SHOULD return status but CANNOT due to either
-# the printer hardware configuration or it is on a unidirectional
-# and not bidirectional parallel printer port, then you must use
-# :model=...,status@
-# to tell the IFHP filter not to expect status information.
-#
-# Example:
-# lp:tc=.common:server:lp=10.0.0.2%9100
-# :filter=/usr/libexec/filters/ifhp
-# :ifhp=model=hp4simx,status@
-#
-# Step 5: Queue creation and LPD restart
-# Run the following commands to create your spool queues and
-# then tell the LPD server that it should use them:
-# su
-# checkpc -f
-# lpc reread
