This is my /etc/printcap file. # @(#)Printcap 5.3 (Berkeley) 6/30/90 # $FreeBSD: src/etc/printcap,v 1.12 2002/07/31 10:05:37 blackend Exp # Lines below by Len Zettel May 4, 2003 # Printer name is Laserjet followed by some aliases. # Header pages suppressed with :sh: # spooling directory (sd) is /var/spool/lpd/Laserjet # the line printer device is lpt0 # the input filter (if) is if-simple Laserjet|hp|Hewlett Packard Laserjet 1100:\ :sh:sd=/var/spool/lpd/Laserjet:\ :lp=/dev/lpt0:\ :if=/usr/local/libexec/if-simple: # ------------------------------------------------------------- If I do lpr -PLaserjet foo file foo is neatly printed out. Following Unix Power Tools 43.04, p 790, entering PRINTER=Laserjet ; export PRINTER from a console lets me do lpr foo file foo is printed as above. Question: What do I put where to specify Laserjet as the default printer as part of the boot sequence? thanks -LenZ-
