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

<para>There is no generic <filename>printcap</filename> for all
printers. A sample printcap is loaded into the <filename>etc</filename>
directory which can be 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 <acronym>BLFS</acronym> scripts; therefore, we will create a 
new one with the following commands:</para>

<screen><userinput><command>mv /etc/rc.d/init.d/lpd /etc/rc.d/init.d/lpd.orig &amp;&amp;
cat &gt; /etc/rc.d/init.d/lpd &lt;&lt; "EOF"</command>
#!/bin/sh
# Begin $rc_base/init.d/lpd

# Based on sysklogd script from LFS-3.1 and earlier.
# Rewritten by Gerard Beekmans  - gerard@linuxfromscratch.org

source /etc/sysconfig/rc
source $rc_functions

        stop)
                echo "Stopping lpd..."
                killproc /usr/sbin/lpd
                ;;

                sleep 1
                $0 start
