Remoteprinting uses the same commands (lpr, lpq, lpc) as localprinting.The process begins when the lpr call finds a printer on aremote system by looking at the remote (rm) entry in the/etc/printcap file for that printer. lpr handles a print jobfor a remote printer by opening a connection with the lpdprocess on the remote system and sending the data file(followed by the control file containing control informationfor this job) to the remote system.
