6.2 UNIX Printing
6-31
TCP/IP Configuration Chapter 6
When using sam, specify everything as if the printer were directly
connected to /dev/lprprinter/<printer_name>.
The software installed with your HP system can satisfy most of your
printing needs. HP supplies ASCII-to-PostScript filters and the system
will inv ok e them automatically if you define the content type of the
printer as PostScript. The HP/UX lp system also supplies interface
scripts that produce PostScript banners. Use the lpfilter command to
define new f ilters and content types if necessary. The full po wer and
flexibility of the lp print service is now a vailable to you. The fact that
you are printing across the network is completely transparent.
6.2.3.7 Installing and Printing on a System V (Solaris
2.X)/System V Rel.4 386-based Machine
Installation and setup is exactly the same for System V Solaris and
SVR4 i386-based machines. Solution uses a network direct filter
called nicfilter. The system in vokes nicf ilter directly from the printer
interface f ile. To load the software, create a /usr/nic directory and tar
the CD-ROM to it.
1. Go to the /usr/nic directory by entering the following:
#cd /usr/nic
2. Run the Installation script by typing:
#nicinst
Once the operating system has been identified, the script downloads
the files for your particular system, to the /usr/nic directory, and
prompts you for information as needed.
3. At the prompt, type:
#cp /usr/spool/lp/model/standard /usr/nic/
