Printing Setup On Sys V

The command structure:

-stop print scheduler

-use lpadmin to describe print queue (often referred to as the logical Unix printer of the same name)

-start the print scheduler

-enable the print queue

-accept the print queue (allow it to accept print jobs)

-do a test print

Several examples are shown below.

Example 1: Using the dest d1prn (Sun 2.5.x)

lpshut

lpsystem -t bsd lobby

lpadmn -p lobby -v/dev/null (gives file locking) lpadmin -p lobby -i/usr/lib/lp/model/netstandard lpadmin -p lobby -sLJ_PS1!d1prn

lpsched enable lobby accept lobby

Example 2: Using the dest d1prn (Sun 2.6, 2.7 and Similar)

lpshut

lpadmn -p lobby -v/dev/null (gives file locking)

lpadmin -p lobby -i/usr/lib/lp/model/netstandard -o protocol=bsd

lpadmin -p lobby -sLJ_PS1!d1prn lpsched

enable lobby accept lobby

Example 3: Using the raw tcp socket 9100 (Sun 2.1, 2.7 and Similar):

lpshut

lpadmn -p lobby -v/dev/null (gives file locking) lpadmin -p lobby -i/usr/lib/lp/model/netstandard lpadmin -p lobby -o dest=LJ_PS1:9100 -o protocol=tcp lpsched

enable lobby accept lobby

To do a test print for either form using the /etc/hosts file:

lp -d lobby /etc/hosts
