Unix
Where:
printer_name is the Print Queue name used to store jobs for the corresponding logical printer
PS_NAME is the LevelOne Printer Server name defined in /etc/hosts
Logical_Printer_name is the logical printer name on the LevelOne Printer Server (L1..L3 or L1..L8, depending on your model)
Spooler_directory is the directory you created in Step 6.
Example:
MarketingRP1_PS123456:\ [TAB] :lp=:\
[TAB] :rm=PS_Rm203:\
[TAB] :rp=L1:\
[TAB] :sd=/usr/spool/Marketing:\
[TAB] :mx#0:
Repeat this process for each Logical Printer/Print Queue combination that you wish to create.
LPD on BSD
Before continuing, ensure that an IP Address has been assigned to the LevelOne Printer Server. Remember the following:
•The remote host name is the name of the LevelOne Printer Server.
•The remote printer name is the logical printer (L1..L3, or L1..L8) on the LevelOne Printer Server.
•If asked for the LPD type, enter the service type as BSD.
•In the sample commands shown, printer_name is the Print Queue serviced by the logical printer on the LevelOne Printer Server, and Spooler_dir is the name of the directory used to spool the print jobs.
