NAME

lprsetup − automated line printer spooler set up

SYNTAX

/usr/etc/lprsetup

DESCRIPTION

The lprsetup command provides an interactive easy-to-use facility for administrating the line printers on your system.  The lprsetup program contains on-line help and default answers to questions about adding, deleting, or changing the characteristics of any of the line printers on your system.  Whenever a question is asked, the default selection is given in [ ] .  You can just enter <return> in response to the question to accept the default, or enter an alternate value for the given parameter. 

The program knows about all of the possible symbols in the /etc/printcap file, see printcap(5) for a current list.  After you have entered a printer specification, and have verified that it is correct, lprsetup then creates the spooling directory, links the output filter, and creates an /etc/printcap entry for the new printer.
