NOTE: Océ equipment is based on BSD printing (TCP/IP - LPR/LPD). In the example the Océ equipment is named oceprinter and the remote printer is named print. You can change these names so long as the name starts with a non-numeric character (i.e. 32print is not allowed).
Configure Linux:
Log in to Linux as root (or an other username that controls the printers, and has all the right to the directories).
Type cd /etc enter.
Using your favourite editor [emacs, vi, sed, etc.] add and save the following entry to /etc/hosts, using the ip you assign to the Océ device and the logical name you will use: <ipaddress> <logical name> For example : 200.200.200.10 oceprinter
Using your favorite editor [emacs, vi, sed, etc.] add the following entry to the file /etc/printcap For example: p01:\ :sd=/var/spool/lpd/oceprinter01:\ :mx#0:\ :sh:\ :rm=oceprinter:\ :rp=print:
Explanation: p01 = Printername for Linux/Unix :sd = The spool directory on your host. :mx# = The maximum file size. 0 is unlimited file size. :rm = The remote machine name. This is the name by which the workstation identifies the printer. It must match the name in the etc/hosts file. (oceprinter) :rp = The remote printer queue name. ( print )
