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.

Make sure this information is added to the end of the printcap 
file. Also make sure that the last character in the printcap file 
is a colon ":".

This will create a queue named laser1 on the host computer 
that communicates to a Brother print server with a node 
name (rm) of BRN_310107 and a service name (rp) of 
TEXT_P1 printing text files to a Brother printer through spool 
directory 

/usr/spool/lpd/laser1

. If you are printing 

binary graphics files, you would use the service BINARY_P1 
instead of TEXT_P1.

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:
