7. Setting up Remote Clients

Once the /etc/hosts.lpd is setup correctly, you just need to setup the client machines to print to the print servers lp queues. This just involves setting up the /etc/printcap on the client machines to point to the printserver. Once again, the easiest way to generate the printcap is to use `printtool`. An example printcap entry (stolen directly from the printing how-to):

        # REMOTE djet500
        lp:\
          :sd=/var/spool/lpd/dj:\
          :rm=machine.out.there.com:\
          :rp=printername:\
          :lp=/dev/null:\
          :sh:                  

This just tells the client to print stuff to queue lp on the remote machine.
