5.4.3User Defined Queue Names

The remote printer name is used by UNIX to tell FastPort which port to send a print job. Some UNIX systems only support eight character names. If so, user’s can create a remote printer name called user1. To enable this:

1.Telnet into FastPort’s diagnostic port (2002).

2.At the main command prompt, press [N] for network.

3.Press [T] for TCP/IP or press [L] for LPD.

4.Follow the instructions to add a user defined queue name.

5.Configure the remote printer name on the workstation to be the user- defined queue name just created on FastPort.

5.4.4LPR Options

The number of copy options with LPR is not supported. To suppress banner pages for individual print jobs, use LPR with the -hoption or turn off the banner printing via telnet. In BSD UNIX systems, the suppress header (sh) option in /etc/printcap file does not work.

5.4.5Manual Installation With LPD on a BSD UNIX System

Note: The following installs a printer named “beta” that is attached to a FastPort named “alpha.” When installing LPD, replace “beta” and “alpha” with your printer’s name and host names, respectively.

1. Copy the following entry into your /etc/printcap file.

betaFastPort LPD printer:\ :lp=:\

:mx#0:\ :lf=/usr/adm/beta-errs:\ :af=/usr/adm/beta-acct:\ :sd=/usr/spool/beta:\ :rm=alpha:\ :rp=ascii:

Note: The rp= entry refers to the “remote printer” name. This tells FastPort to do special formatting for the printer. If there is an ascii printer attached, use ascii. If the printer is postscript, use ps. If it is a plotter or you are configuring a PC-NFS printer, use raw.

2. Create the spool directory. Change ownership to daemon:

mkdir /usr/spool/beta

chown daemon /usr/spool/beta chmod 755 /usr/spool/beta
