6.2 UNIX Printing

When using sam, specify everything as if the printer were directly connected to /dev/lprprinter/<printer_name>.

The software installed with your HP system can satisfy most of your printing needs. HP supplies ASCII-to-PostScript filters and the system will invoke them automatically if you define the content type of the printer as PostScript. The HP/UX lp system also supplies interface scripts that produce PostScript banners. Use the lpfilter command to define new filters and content types if necessary. The full power and flexibility of the lp print service is now available to you. The fact that you are printing across the network is completely transparent.

6.2.3.7Installing and Printing on a System V (Solaris 2.X)/System V Rel.4 386-based Machine

Installation and setup is exactly the same for System V Solaris and SVR4 i386-based machines. Solution uses a network direct filter called nicfilter. The system invokes nicfilter directly from the printer interface file. To load the software, create a /usr/nic directory and tar the CD-ROM to it.

1.Go to the /usr/nic directory by entering the following:

#cd /usr/nic

2.Run the Installation script by typing:

#nicinst

Once the operating system has been identified, the script downloads the files for your particular system, to the /usr/nic directory, and prompts you for information as needed.

3.At the prompt, type:

#cp /usr/spool/lp/model/standard /usr/nic/
