Users of AT&T-compatible UNIX systems can generally use 
the lpstat or rlpstat commands to obtain similar status 
information. Because this procedure varies from system to 
system, refer to your system documentation for the exact 
usage.

Skip this section if you have completed Step 3, unless you have 
an SCO UNIX system.

If you have an HP/UX system, IBM RS/6000 AIX computer, or Sun 
Solaris 2.xx, there is no printcap file. This is also true for some other 
AT&T-based UNIX systems, as well as many VMS-based TCP/IP 
software packages (for example, UCX, TGV Multinet, etc.). On SCO 
systems, there is a printcap file, but it is automatically configured by 
the rlpconf command. Most of these systems generally use a printer 
setup program to define the service name (remote printer), the print 
server name (remote machine) or IP address, and the local queue 
name (spool directory). Refer to the appropriate section depending 
on your version of Unix.

The rm and rp options are not available on some UNIX 
systems, so if necessary check your documentation to 
determine the equivalent options.

Users of Berkeley-compatible UNIX systems can use the lpc 
command to obtain the printer status:
