Printing Setup On Sys V

Printing Setup On Sys V

This setup involves any Unix operating system using System V print spooling (e.g., SCO, Solaris®, DG/UX®, Sun 2.5.x, 2.6, 2.7 and similar, etc.). This means an interface file is used for each defined printer and in the case of any System V print setup involving a LineJet Print Server, the RSHD protocol is used to transfer data from the host to the print server.

To manually configure a new System V printer on a Unix station, create a dummy device file that acts as a locking mechanism between contending print jobs.

Sys V printing is characterized by use of the lp printer interface program, lpsched printer scheduler, and the use of an interface file. The file lpadmin is used in setting up the print queue definition. As of Sun 2.6 and on, the interface file netstandard is provided in a generic interface file intended for network print servers such as the LineJet Print Server. Also as of Sun 2.6 the ability to print to a socket (sometimes called raw tcp) or a remote printer (dest for LineJet) is provided.

Root access is required to use lpshut (stop the print scheduler to add a new printer with lpadmin), lpsched and lpadmin.

For the following example, assume the print queue to be created is lobby, and the ping-able IP Address name of the LineJet is LJ_PS1, and you wish to print to remote printer (dest) d1prn on LJ_PS1. As always with Unix, commands are case-sensitive. Also, be sure to use the bourne or korn shell, not the cshell when using the commands.

The command structure:

-stop print scheduler

-use lpadmin to describe print queue (often referred to as the logical Unix printer of the same name)

-start the print scheduler

-enable the print queue

-accept the print queue (allow it to accept print jobs)

-do a test print

Several examples are shown below.

Example 1: Using the dest d1prn (Sun 2.5.x)

lpshut

lpsystem -t bsd lobby

lpadmn -p lobby -v/dev/null (gives file locking) lpadmin -p lobby -i/usr/lib/lp/model/netstandard lpadmin -p lobby -sLJ_PS1!d1prn

lpsched enable lobby accept lobby
