/etc/printcap There is no generic printcap for all printers. A sample printcap is loaded into the etc directory which can be some help. Information is also available at and . The init script installed by LPRng is not consistent with BLFS scripts; therefore, we will create a new one with the following commands: mv /etc/rc.d/init.d/lpd /etc/rc.d/init.d/lpd.orig && cat > /etc/rc.d/init.d/lpd << "EOF" #!/bin/sh # Begin $rc_base/init.d/lpd # Based on sysklogd script from LFS-3.1 and earlier. # Rewritten by Gerard Beekmans - gerard@linuxfromscratch.org source /etc/sysconfig/rc source $rc_functions case "$1" in start) echo "Starting lpd..." loadproc /usr/sbin/lpd ;; stop) echo "Stopping lpd..." killproc /usr/sbin/lpd ;; reload) echo "Reloading lpd..." reloadproc /usr/sbin/lpd ;; restart) $0 stop sleep 1 $0 start ;; status) statusproc /usr/sbin/lpd ;; *) echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop|reload|restart|status}" exit 1 ;; esac # End $rc_base/init.d/lpd EOF chmod 755 /etc/rc.d/init.d/lpd Create the symbolic links to the lprng init script in the relevant rc.d directories with the following commands: cd /etc/rc.d/init.d && ln -sf ../init.d/lpd ../rc0.d/K00lprng && ln -sf ../init.d/lpd ../rc1.d/K00lprng && ln -sf ../init.d/lpd ../rc2.d/S99lprng && ln -sf ../init.d/lpd ../rc3.d/S99lprng && ln -sf ../init.d/lpd ../rc4.d/S99lprng && ln -sf ../init.d/lpd ../rc5.d/S99lprng && ln -sf ../init.d/lpd ../rc6.d/K00lprng
