<p>When files are accepted by the <b class=
"APPLICATION">lpd</b> server for printing, they are stored in
a spool queue directory, together with other files
controlling the print operation. This section describes these
files and how the <b class="APPLICATION">LPRng</b> software
uses them.</p>
<p>For descriptive purposes, we will use the following
printcap entry as a guide:</p>
<div class="INFORMALEXAMPLE">
<a name="AEN6258"></a>
<pre class="SCREEN">
pr|alias
:sd=/var/lpd/pr_public
:cd=/var/lpd/pr
</pre>
</div>
<br>
<br>
<div class="SECT1">
<h1 class="SECT1"><a name="AEN6260">13.1. Spool
Queue</a></h1>
<ul>
<li>
<p><tt class="LITERAL">sd=</tt><i class=
"EMPHASIS">Spool queue directory name</i></p>
</li>
</ul>
<br>
<br>
<p>The <tt class="OPTION">:sd</tt> option in the printcap
entry specifies the spool queue directory. If there is no
<tt class="OPTION">:sd</tt> entry or value, then the
printer can only be used by the clients such as <b class=
"APPLICATION">lpq</b> to locate the destination for a print
job. All information, files, etc., for a print queue is
stored in the spool directory.</p>
