Berkeley UNIX host computers include Linux, Digital Equipment Corporation Digital UNIX, OSF/1, and ULTRIX; Compaq Tru64 UNIX; SunOS (not Solaris), SCO UNIX; and many others. Sun Solaris, HP/UX, IBM AIX users should skip to the appropriate sections later in this manual.

♦Do not use the Linux X-Windows graphical user interface printer configuration utility, because it does not work with Paxar print servers. Instead, Linux users should follow the configuration steps listed in this section.

♦SCO UNIX users should use the rlpconf command to create a printer and automatically configure the /etc/printcap file (you will still need to edit the /etc/hosts file). Enter the print server's service name (XCD_xxxxxx_P1) as the name of the printer (refer to the print server self-test for the exact name of this service), and enter the name of the print server that you assigned in the /etc/hosts file as the remote host name; note that because this name must be unique for each printer, we recommend using the XCD_xxxxxx_P1 service instead of the normal BINARY_P1 service.

1. Edit the /etc/hosts file: (or equivalent local host table). For example:

192.189.207.33 xcdprinter

2. Edit the printcap file: An example of a typical entry in the printcap file is:

PaxarPrinter:\

:lp=:\

:rm=XCD:\ :rp=BINARY_P1:\ :sd=/usr/spool/lpd/PaxarPrinter:

"PaxarPrinter" is the queuename.

"XCD" matches the name in the hosts file.

"BINARY_P1" is the print server's service name.

NOTE: Use TEXT_P1 instead of BINARY_P1 for text files.

"sd" is the spool directory.
