<h1 class="SECT1"><a name="PRINTCAPPATH">12.15. Locations of
Printcap Files</a></h1>
<p>Options used:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p><tt class="LITERAL">printcap_path=</tt><i class=
"EMPHASIS">printcap file locations</i></p>
</li>
<li>
<p><tt class="LITERAL">lpd_printcap_path=</tt><i class=
"EMPHASIS">lpd server printcap information</i></p>
</li>
</ul>
<br>
<br>
<p>The <tt class="LITERAL">printcap_path</tt> and <tt class=
"LITERAL">lpd_printcap_path</tt> configuration options (see
<a href="configfile.htm">lpd.conf(5)</a> ) specify a set of
paths for the printcap information. If the <tt class=
"LITERAL">lpd_printcap_path</tt> is nonblank then the <b
class="APPLICATION">lpd</b> server uses it, otherwise it uses
the <tt class="LITERAL">printcap_path</tt> information.
Client programs use only <tt class=
"LITERAL">printcap_path</tt>. The path names can be separated
with whitespace, commas, semicolons, or colons. The default
values are:</p>
<div class="INFORMALEXAMPLE">
<a name="AEN6021"></a>
<pre class="SCREEN">
printcap_path ${sysconfdir}/printcap
lpd_printcap_path (blank or empty)
</pre>
</div>
<br>
<br>
<div class="SECT2">
<h2 class="SECT2"><a name="AEN6023">12.15.1. Separate
Server and Client Printcap Files</a></h2>
<p>Since only the <b class="APPLICATION">lpd</b> server
uses the printcap file specified by the <tt class=
"LITERAL">lpd_printcap_path</tt>, you can place server
specific information there. If this file is used it must
also contain any required information in the <tt class=
"LITERAL">printcap_path</tt> file.</p>
</div>
<div class="SECT2">
<h2 class="SECT2"><a name="ALLPC">12.15.2. <tt class=
"LITERAL">all</tt> Printcap Entry</a></h2>
<p>The <tt class="LITERAL">all</tt> printcap name and <tt
class="LITERAL">all</tt> option is reserved to provide a
list of printers available for use by the spooling
software. This is a desperation, last ditch, back to the
wall option for administrators with systems that do not
have ways to provide a list of printcap entries. The 'all'
printcap entry has the form:</p>
<div class="INFORMALEXAMPLE">
<a name="AEN6035"></a>
<pre class="SCREEN">
all:all=pr1,pr2,...
</pre>
</div>
<br>
<br>
<p>The value of the <tt class="LITERAL">all</tt> option
should be a list of printcap names whose values will then
be extracted.</p>
