How to Add a Form

1. Log in as superuser, lp, or assume an equivalent role on the print server.

2. Add a form that is based on a form definition.

   # lpforms -f form-name -F /etc/lp/forms/form

   -f

   Specifies the name you choose for the form

   -F /etc/lp/forms/ form

   Specifies the name of the form definition.

   For more information, see the lpforms(1M) man page.

   The form is added to the print server's /etc/lp/forms/form-name/describe file.

3. Verify that the form was added by checking the output of the following command:

   # lpforms -f form-name -l
