Mackie V7.0 manual Example, 211

Interoperability Accessing BSD printers

●Make sure the fast filter bsd is already configured: xpshow -flt

If the filter bsd is not displayed, you must first add it to the system (the filter is supplied with Xprint V7.0). Enter the following command:

xpadd -flt bsd -tp FAST -cm bsd -op "LOGIN *=*" \ "PRINTER *=*" "DOC-REF *=*" "COMMENT *=*" "TITLE *=*"

●Define the printer as you would a local printer, at the same time assigning to it the filter bsd:

xpadd -devbsd_printer -dapseudo_file -fl bsd \

-ca "queue=remote_printer host=host_name" [-pcpcl] -aa

For bsd_printer specify a unique name under which the BSD printer is to be known in the Xprint V7.0 domain.

For pseudo_file specify any file name of an empty file instead of a real printer address. This file is required to control access to the print queue; it does not have anything to do with the actual print job. If necessary, configure the path.

With the -caoption (administrator’s comment) you must specify the name of the BSD printer in the form queue=remote_printer and the name of the host to which the BSD printer is connected (host=host_name).

i

If the name of the remote printer (remote_printer) is the same as that of the local pseudo printer (bsd_printer), “queue=remote_printer” need not be specified.

You must separate these specifications with a blank. If the LPD service at the BSD system is defined at a different port than usual, this port number can also be defined here by additionally specifying an entry port=port_number.

If required, specify for pcl a PCL defined in the system which corresponds to the BSD printer. If the required PCL does not yet exist, you can define it as described in the section “Adding a PCL” on page 180.

Example

You want to configure a new BSD PostScript printer BSD_PS at host host3. The fast filter bsd, however, is not yet configured in the system, and the printer is to be activated automatically each time Xprint V7.0 is started:

xpadd -flt bsd -tp FAST -cm bsd -op "LOGIN *=*" \ "PRINTER *=*" "DOC-REF *=*" "COMMENT *=*" "TITLE *=*"
