Sample lpd.config File ####################################################################################### # Debugging mode may be toggled from the menu, but sometimes we want # to debug the config so debugging may also be toggled here using # the DEBUG command. # # DEBUG # turn it on.... # # The NOACTION flag turns off printing.  Files are still spooled, but not deleted which # is useful for debugging, particularly of the control file. Note that lpDaemon does not # translated line-feeds to carriage returns when spooling files, but does recognise the # end of line when printing so when examining the control file most Mac text editors # will show the file as on long line with little boxes where the end of line should be. # # NOACTION # ####################################################################################### # lpDaemon sends e-mail to the owner of files when errors occur, and to an administrator # when the log file is cleared.  If your setup does not support BSD sendmail uncomment # the following # NOMAIL # ####################################################################################### # If a printer is postscript lpDaemon attempts to query the printer before and after # printing a file for the number of pages printed.  The differences is recorded # in the log file.  Uncomment the following to stop that if it causes troubles. # NOACNT # ####################################################################################### # lpDaemon looks in the Laser Writer driver file for the PAP resources as well as the # selected printer.  The default is to look for a file called "LaserWriter" in the # System Folder under < sys 7 or in the Extensions folder >= 7.  If your laser writer # driver is called something other than LaserWriter uncomment the following and change # the name. # # LASERWRITER "LaserWriter" # the default is LaserWriter # ####################################################################################### # RFC1179 tells us that the format for print control file names is : #                 cfANNNxxxxx # where NNN is a3 digit job number and xxxxx is the name of the host that is # printing.  lpDaemon looks for file with the cfA prefix in it's spool folder when # looking for print jobs.  Unfortunately not all systems seem to follow this convention # so it may be over written here. # # CTLFIL cfA    # the default is cfA # ####################################################################################### # The ADMIN defines an account that will be mailed when the # log-file is cleared. # # ADMIN casper@mips.cs.murdoch.edu.au # ####################################################################################### # Each PRINTER defines a name by which a printer is known and some # information about the printer.  If a name contains spaces the # name string should be quoted with the " # # The syntax is : #    PRINTER  <name1>  PAP|SERIAL  <name2> [baud stop parity bits] [POSTSCRIPT] # where : #    <name1> is the name by which the printer is addressed from the unix host #    this would be the rn entry in the printcap file #    PAP|SERIAL defines whether the printer is connected by AppleTalk or #    a serial connection #  <name2> is the NBP name, or the name of the serial driver #  [baud stop parity bits] is only for SERIAL printers.  Vaild entries : #     baud: #      300, 600, 1200, 1800, 2400, 3600 #      4800, 7200, 9600, 19200, 57600 #     stop: #      10: 1 stop bits #      15: 1 & half stop bits #      20: 2 stop bits #     parity: #      N: no parity #      O: odd parity #      E: even parity #     bits: #      5, 6, 7, 8 # # POSTSCRIPT is used only for postscript printers, when used lpDaemon will # check for %!
