4.1.4.a Print Server:
To use your terminal as a print server, set the parameters as follows:
If you are using SCO UNIX; ensure that you have a correctly working
Ethernet controller card properly installed and the networking software
configured. Ethernet and TCP/IP support is a standard part of all SCO
releases.
Terminal operation only requires no setup in the Unix Host, although
the System Administrator may feel more comfortable by adding the
terminal name and IP address to the /etc/hosts file.
If you want to use the Print Server function, then you must include the
terminal name and IP address in the /etc/hosts file. i.e.; 194.2.32.54
spot110_01
In order to use the Print Server function you must also configure Unix
for remote printing.
Start SCOADMIN
>Select Printer
>Print Manager
>Printer
>Add Remote
>Unix
Select [OK]
Select Add Remote Unix printer
Note: Do not use the choices from the Select Printer Pop up or it will
look like the Unix print queue is on the remote host.
>Enter the name of the remote printer:
use one of the following:
PARALLEL + a unique number
SERIAL1 + a unique number
SERIAL2 + a unique number
DEFAULT + a unique number
for example: DEFAULT_01
When done, select [OK]
Your printer is now set up. You can check and administer it with the
standard SCO lp printer commands. i.e.; lp -d DEFAULT_01 /etc/hosts
should print the file /etc/hosts on whatever printer the terminal thinks is
the default printer attached to spot110_01.
