<title>Installation of <application>LPRng</application></title>

<para>Install <application>LPRng</application> by running the following 
commands:</para>

<screen><userinput><command>./configure --prefix=/usr --libexecdir=/usr/sbin \
    --sysconfdir=/etc &amp;&amp;
make &amp;&amp;
make install</command></userinput></screen>

<para><filename>/etc/printcap</filename></para>
</sect3>

<sect3><title>Configuration Information</title>

<para>There is no generic <filename>printcap</filename> for all
printers. A sample printcap is loaded into the <filename
class="directory">/etc</filename>
directory which can be of some help.  Information is also available at
<ulink url="http://www.lprng.org"/> and <ulink
url="http://www.linuxprinting.org"/>.</para> 

<para>The init script installed by <application>LPRng</application> is not 
consistent with other <acronym>BLFS</acronym> scripts; therefore, install
the <filename>/etc/rc.d/init.d/lprng</filename>
init script included in the <xref linkend="intro-important-bootscripts"/> package.</para>
