This is useful for queuing print jobs. Package Information Download (HTTP): Download (FTP): Download MD5 sum: &LPRng-md5sum; Download size: &LPRng-size; Estimated disk space required: &LPRng-buildsize; Estimated build time: &LPRng-time; LPRng Dependencies Optional , , or , and krb4 Installation of LPRng Install LPRng by running the following commands: ./configure --prefix=/usr --libexecdir=/usr/lib/lprng \ --sysconfdir=/etc --enable-shared && make Now, as the root user: make install install -v -d -m755 /usr/share/doc/lprng-&LPRng-version; && cp -v -R DOCS/* PrintingCookbook \ /usr/share/doc/lprng-&LPRng-version; Configuring LPRng Config Files /etc/printcap and /etc/lpd/* /etc/printcap /etc/lpd/* Configuration Information There is no generic printcap for all printers. A sample printcap is loaded into the /etc directory which can be of some help. Information is also available at , and the documentation installed in /usr/share/doc/lprng-&LPRng-version;. Boot Script The init script installed by LPRng is not consistent with other BLFS scripts; therefore, install the /etc/rc.d/init.d/lprng init script included in the package (as the root user): lprng make install-lprng You may also want to remove the lpd script that was installed in /etc/rc.d/init.d.
