NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

     mkbsdnetpr	- provide access to a remote printer using the BSD printing
     protocols

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

     mkbsdnetpr	[<local	printer	name>] [<remote	host>] [<remote	printer	name>]

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     mkbsdnetpr	provides access	on a local machine to a	printer	that is
     connected to a networked remote machine.  The BSD printing	protocols are
     used to communicate with the remote machine. mkbsdnetpr can be run	either
     interactively or in batch mode.

     mkbsdnetpr	will run interactively if any or all of	its command line
     arguments have not	been specified.	 mkbsdnetpr will prompt	for any
     missing command line arguments.

     local printer name	is the name you	wish to	give the printer on your
     machine (see lpadmin (1M)). (local	printer	name is	setup using the	lp
     spooler on	the SGI).  remote host is the name of the machine that has the
     printer physically	attached to it.	 Note that this	machine	must be
     accessible	over the network.  remote printer name is the name of the
     printer on	the remote machine.

     After running this	program, you might consider making this	printer	the
     default printer using lpadmin(1M).	 This command is only usable by	the
     system administrator.

NOTE    [Toc]    [Back]

     Network printing to a remote system is achieved by	submitting the print
     job to the	local lp print spooler.	 The interface file for	the local
     printer submits the print job to the remote printer using the
     netprint(1M) utility.

     Make sure that you	have access to the remote system.  Typically, this is
     done by adding an entry for the local system to the /etc/hosts.equiv or
     /etc/hosts.lpd file on the	remote system.
