Next we need to build the directories where BSD/Mac OS will temporarily store print jobs during processing. These are called spool directories.
Start a terminal and su to root if you have not already done so. Then, do the following to create a spool directory for the printer ghostscript:
| mkdir –p /var/spool/lpd/ghostscript | creates a spool directory for the printer ghostscript. Remember, if you changed the name in the NetInfo Manager, make sure you use the same name in this whole step! |
| cd /var/spool/lpd | move to the /var/spool/lpd directory. |
| touch ghostscript/.seq | creates file called .seq. I don’t know why it’s required. |
| chown –R daemon.daemon ghostscript | sets the correct owner for the directory and contents. |
If you’re using TCP/IP printing, you also need to create a spool directory for the printer lp.
| mkdir lp | creates a spool directory for the printer lp. |
| touch lp/.seq | creates file called .seq. I don’t know why it’s required. |
| chown –R daemon.daemon lp | sets the correct owner for the directory and contents. |
That’s everything we need to do here!
