default, so there's no use in running it without any printer definition in printcap. Also added a bunch of hints about the printer setup, to guide the admin about the printer setup (handbook, "apsfilter"), and a commented-out sample setup for a remote printer. In the same line, add /var/spool/lpd/output to BSD.var.dist since it is referred to by the "lp" entry in printcap.

# This enables a simple local "raw" printer, hooked up to the first
|
|
# parallel port. No kind of filtering is done, so everything you
|
|
# pass to the "lpr" command will be printed unmodified.
|
|
#
|
|
# Remember, for further print queues you're going to add, you have to
|
|
# chose different spool directories (the "sd" capability below),
|
|
# otherwise you will greatly confuse lpd.
|
|
#
|
|
# For some advanced printing, have a look at the "apsfilter" package.
|
|
# It plugs into the lpd system, allowing you to print a variety of
|
|
# different file types by converting everything to PostScript(tm)
|
|
# format. If you don't have a PostScript(tm) printer, don't panic,
|
|
# but do also install the "ghostscript" package.
|
|
#
|
|
# Do also refer to section 7 (Printing) of the handbook. A local copy
|
|
# can be found under /usr/share/doc/handbook/handbook.{html,latin1}.
