PAD Services

 

Remote PAD Printer Support (x29printd)

x3

Optional. This is the X.3 configuration set name for

 

this x29server login session. If used, the configuration

 

set name (and X.3 parameter set) must also exist in

/etc/x25/x3config. If more than one X.3 configuration set with the same name exists, the first one found in the file is used.

If there is no configuration set name in /etc/x25/x29hosts or no matching X.3 configuration set name in /etc/x25/x3config, default values are used.

Configuring the UNIX Line-printer Spooler for x29printd

The remote PAD printer must also be configured in the spooler system in order for remote printing to work with the standard UNIX LP commands. To configure a remote PAD printer in the spooler system, execute the following command:

lpadmin -v <device name> -p <printer name> -m <printer model>

-p

Printer name is the name given to this printer at the

 

user level. This is the same name specified with the lp

 

command’s -doption (used when you print a file to a

 

printer).

-v

Device file name is /dev/x29/[device name]. The

 

value for device name is the same character string as

 

the one entered in the device entry in the

 

/etc/x25/x29hosts file.

-m

Printer model is the HP printer model name (for

 

example, thinkjet, laserjet, hp2563a, etc.).

 

The lpadmin command associates the printer name

 

with the device file name in /etc/x25/x29hosts and

 

maps this name to the remote X.121 address of the

 

printer.
