<p>You can have the <b class="APPLICATION">lpd</b> server
forward jobs to another server or print which supports the
RFC1179 protocol by using the following printcap:</p>
<div class="INFORMALEXAMPLE">
<a name="AEN5819"></a>
<pre class="SCREEN">
# Simplest
remote|Remote Printer
:lp=raw@server
# historical
remote:
rp=raw:rm=server
# Sometimes you have to connect to a non-standard port
special:lp=lp@server%2000
</pre>
</div>
<ol type="1">
<li>
<p>If the <var class="LITERAL">lp</var> printer entry is
present, it will override the <var class=
"LITERAL">rm</var> and <var class="LITERAL">rp</var>
printer entries.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>The <var class="LITERAL">lp=pr@host</var> format
specifies that the output device is actually a remote
spool queue, and jobs should be transferred using RFC1179
protocol.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>By default, <b class="APPLICATION">LPRng</b> will
attempt to <span class="emphasis"><i class=
"EMPHASIS">sanitize</i></span> all jobs that it
originates or forwards. This sanitization will result in
an RFC1179 compliant <var class="LITERAL">control
file</var>, and will not modify any of the job
information.</p>
