Configuration procedures for common System V UNIX hosts

Sun Solaris

For Solaris version 2.6 and later, go to “Adding an LPD queue in Solaris” on page 88. For Solaris 2.5x and older, use the sol_apps.tar provided with your printer’s networking software to avoid a Solaris communication problem. The sol_apps.tar file is also available from the Tektronix ftp site:

ftp.tek.com/cpid/UNIX/sun/sol_apps.tar

This file redirects the print jobs to the printer's AppSocket port (port 9100) instead of the LPD port (port 515).

N O T E

If you do not want to redirect the print jobs to the printer's AppSocket port, see “Adding an LPD queue in Solaris” on page 88.

1.Untar the sol_apps.tar file by typing this command:

tar -xvf phaser.sun5

The following files are extracted into the indicated directories:

asprint.sun5 to /usr/bin tektcp.sun5 to /usr/spool/lp/model

2.Edit the file /etc/hosts to create an entry for the printer.

N O T E

The network name and the queue name for your printer must be identical for the model file to work.

3.Execute the following commands:

lpadmin -p queuename -v /dev/null -i /usr/spool/lp/model/tektcp.sun5 -I postscript

enable queuename accept queuename

where queuename is the name entered for the printer in the /etc/hosts file.

The print queue is now enabled.
