LPD on UNIX systems
Configuring print queues for BSD-based systems
Edit the /etc/printcap file to include the following entries:
printer_name|short_printer_name:\
:lp=:\
:rm=node_name:\
:rp=remote_printer_name_argument:\ (this can be any queue name desired by the user)
:lf=/usr/spool/lpd/error_log_filename:\
:sd=/usr/spool/lpd/printer_name:
where  printer_name identifies the all-in-one to the user,  node_name identifies the all-in-one on
the network, and remote_printer_name_argument  is the print queue...

Example: Creating spooling directory
mkdir /usr/spool/lpd
cd /usr/spool/lpd
mkdir lj1_raw lj1_raw
chown daemon lj1_raw lj1_raw
chgrp daemon lj1_raw lj1_raw
