  35. Overview
    36. 

  36. .PP
    37. 

  37. The line printer system supports:
    38. 

  38. .IP \(bu 3
    39. 

  39. multiple printers,
    40. 

  40. .IP \(bu 3
    41. 

  41. multiple spooling queues,
    42. 

  42. .IP \(bu 3
    43. 

  43. both local and remote
    44. 

  44. printers, and
    45. 

  45. .IP \(bu 3
    46. 

  46. printers attached via serial lines that require
    47. 

  47. line initialization such as the baud rate.
    48. 

  48. .LP
    49. 

  49. Raster output devices
    50. 

  50. such as a Varian or Versatec, and laser printers such as an Imagen,
    51. 

  51. are also supported by the line printer system.
    52. 

  52. .PP
    53. 

  53. The line printer system consists mainly of the
    54. 

  54. following files and commands:
    55. 

  55. .DS
    56. 

  56. .TS
    57. 

  57. l l.
    58. 

  58. /etc/printcap	printer configuration and capability data base
    59. 

  59. /usr/lib/lpd	line printer daemon, does all the real work
    60. 

  60. /usr/ucb/lpr	program to enter a job in a printer queue
    61. 

  61. /usr/ucb/lpq	spooling queue examination program
    62. 

  62. /usr/ucb/lprm	program to delete jobs from a queue
    63. 

  63. /etc/lpc	program to administer printers and spooling queues
    64. 

  64. /dev/printer	socket on which lpd listens
    65. 

  65. .TE
    66. 

  66. .DE
    67. 

  67. The file /etc/printcap is a master data base describing line
    68. 

  68. printers directly attached to a machine and, also, printers
    69. 

  69. accessible across a network. The manual page entry
    70. 

  70. .IR printcap (5)
    71. 

  71. provides the authoritative definition of
    72. 

  72. the format of this data base, as well as
    73. 

  73. specifying default values for important items
    74. 

  74. such as the directory in which spooling is performed.
    75. 

  75. This document introduces some of the
    76.
