5.5 Configuring printers on the UNIX system

Advanced Server for UNIX supports interworking with the AT&T®standard spooler and the Reliant UNIX spooler. For this purpose, the following interfaces are available:

Keyword	Spool system
ATTHPI	Standard spooler (AT&T high performance interface)
SPOOLV4	SPOOL V4.2 and Xprint V5.x, referred to in the following
	text as SPOOL V4.x (for all UNIX systems)

The selectable spoolers are displayed during installation with the keywords. Select a spooler for Advanced Server for UNIX, which is then configured automatically.

i

●You may only use one spooler at a time.

●You may only select a spooler if it is already installed on your system.

When printing with Advanced Server for UNIX, the print data is already processed with the PC applications. For this reason, the spooler must pass on this print data “transparently” to the respective printer; it may not modify it under any circum- stances. To do this, the spooler interface for Advanced Server for UNIX passes on the print job in raw mode. Therefore, you can use every printer on the UNIX system for Advanced Server for UNIX as long as it is supported by the PC application.

Before you can use a spooler with Advanced Server for UNIX, you must configure printer classes / groups and printers. You may only use the printers with Advanced Server for UNIX if it is possible to print from UNIX with the configured printers.
