How to Define a Class of Printers

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

2. Define a class of printers.

   # lpadmin -p printer-name -c printer-class

   -p printer-name	Name of the printer you are adding to a class of printers.
   -c printer-class	Name of a class of printers.

   The specified printer is added to the end of the list in the class in the print server's /etc/lp/classes/printer-class file. If the printer class does not exist, it is created.

3. Verify that the printers are in a printer class.

   $ lpstat -c printer-class
