Appendix Chapter 12

12 UNIX Configuration

7The script automatically starts the daemon for the newly configured printer. At this time, the script displays the path you should use if you ever need to restart the daemon.

/usr/nic/lpr_print /dev/nic/<printer name> print- fast 10001 &

The above example reflects the name supplied to the script earlier.

After the installation script is complete, you must configure the printer and make it known to the lp system. The SCO UNIX lp system uses the lpad- min command used to configure a printer. There is no

/etc/printcap file. The following are the commands used for printer con- figuration.

lpadmin -p<printer name> -v /dev/nic/<printer name>

✎

Note

Your host may require you to use the -icommand to specify the model.

enable <printer name> accept <printer name>

You can use other options in the lpadmin command. See your system documentation for full details.

✎

Note

The printer name must be the same as the one you specified during Network Card installation. SCO also provides the sam program, which can be used to configure the printer.

If you use sam, make all specifications just as if the printer were connect- ed directly to /dev/lprinter/<printer name>.

The software installed with your SCO system should be sufficient to satis- fy most printing needs. SCO supplies ASCII-to-PostScript filters that are invoked automatically whenever PostScript is specified as the content type. The SCO UNIX lp system also supplies interface scripts that gener- ate PostScript banners. When necessary, you can use the lpfilter com- mand to define new filters and content types. The installation provides you with the full power and flexibility of the lp print service, and the fact that you are printing across the network is totally transparent.
