5.5.5Manual Installation on BSD UNIX Systems

Host software is installed as an “input” filter. Host sends a print job to FastPort and provides a transparent printing environment. Install host on every host that prints to FastPort. Install.sh can be used to install a FastPort printer/plotter using either host software or LPD support. A sample install session is available in /examples/install.doc directory. Using Digi's host software, fpfilter:

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 host software printer:\ :lp=/dev/beta:\

:mx#0:rw:sb:\ :lf=/usr/adm/beta-errs:\ :af=/usr/adm/beta-acct:\ :sd=/usr/spool/beta:\ :if=/usr/local/Digi/fpfilter:

2. Create a new dummy device, with these commands:

touch /dev/beta chmod 755 /dev/beta chown daemon beta chgrp daemon beta
