printcap contains BSD-style lpd printer descriptions for these printers:
color (best quality color)
coloreco (normal quality color)
bw (best quality black)
bweco (economy quality black)
ascii (filter for printing ascii text files)
The printcap entries say:
use a log file (lf) and an accounting file (af), suppress form feeds (sf),
suppress printing of burst page header (sh) and the maximum file size is
unlimited (mx#0). Edit these if necessary.
Then edit your /etc/printcap file to add the contents of printcap
to it. (Just copy printcap to /etc/printcap, if no other printers
are defined).
Now Run the shell script lpdsetup, specifying your desired paper size, e.g.:
./lpdsetup letter
./lpdsetup legal
./lpdsetup a4
./lpdsetup a3
This installs the filters in /usr/local/bin and creates the corresponding
spool directories /var/spool/lpd/color, etc, You must be root to do this.
You may wish to edit the options specified in the filter files
