Gateways

“GTW_START_PAGE=YES/NO"

provides a way to enforce ("YES") or suppress ("NO") the header page.

“GTW_SEPARATOR_PAGE=YES/NO"

provides a way to enforce ("YES") or suppress ("NO") the separator sheet.

“GTW_END_PAGE=YES/NO"

provides a way to enforce ("YES") or suppress ("NO") the trailer page.

Other interesting options are described in the Reference Manual.

Troubleshooting

If requests from a remote BSD client are rejected by the local gateway, the following values must be used:

-op "PI=0" "PA=0123"

i

Therefore the safest way to define a local BSD gateway is to use the following command:

xpadd -gtw ... -op "PI=0" "PA=1023" "MODE=COMPATIBLE"

Defining the partner gateway

A separate partner gateway must now be specified for each connection to a BSD printer spooler. The partner gateway is defined using the following command:

xpadd -gtw bsd_partner -tp PARTNER -ho bsd_host -ga 515 \

-bl local_gw -np TCP -pp BSD [-op option_list]

This command configures a partner gateway named bsd_partner which admin- isters the logical connection to a special BSD printer spooler. For bsd_partner any name can be used; it does make sense, however, to use a name which indicates to which host the gateway is configured. With the option -hobsd_host you specify the name of the remote host on which the LPD daemon process of the BSD spooler runs.

The option -ga 515 specifies that the port 515 is to be used for accessing the BSD print services. If the BSD system uses a different port number for the print services (see /etc/services file on the BSD host), you must specify the relevant port number here.
