LPRng configuration & pprdist (continued)
- Run pprdist to make the changes effective and push them out
- Typical: HOST1$ sudo pprdist -v -p (print servername)
- Custom: HOST1$ sudo pprdist -v -G -p($SERVER) (print servername)
- This re-creates the printcap files, pushes them out, and restarts lpd
- Note that an overnight update is run and lp-{bldg} print servers are restarted
- Note use of lp-(bldg) ... this is INTENTIONAL and means what it implies!
- Use lp-(bldg) rather than create another print server
- lp-(bldg) servers should be robust, reliable, etc.
- old lp-SERVER1 got files from HOST1, name service from HOST2
- new lp-SERVER2 has local files and name service
- Not hard ... but best to leave this for trained professionals ...
