Xerox 6030, 6050A manual Registering the Remote Printer, 226

Registering the Remote Printer

For printing using the lpr command, both the host system and the remote printer must be registered on the client workstation.

Although the registration information depends on the system, the logical device names on the workstation must correspond with the logical printers on the Xerox 6030/6050 Wide Format printer system.

Refer to the "Main Printing Functions" section in "2.1 Overview of the 6030/ 6050/6050A Wide Format Printer" for logical printer.

SunOS 5.X

For SunOS 5.X, register the remote printer using the lpadmin command.

You need to have root user privileges to use the lpadmin command.

For details of the lpadmin command, see SunOS 5.X User Guide.

•Executing the lpadmin command

In the example below, the Xerox 6030/6050 Wide Format printer system with the host name [oklahoma] is registered.

If the printer devices plt00h, plt01h, and plt02h are specified, they are sent to the logical printers PLT00H, PLT01H, and PLT02H of [oklahoma].

#lpadmin -p plt00h -s oklahoma!PLT00H #lpadmin -p plt01h -s oklahoma!PLT01H #lpadmin -p plt02h -s oklahoma!PLT02H

If csh is used, enter "\!" instead of "!" in the above to prevent the character "!" and subsequent characters from being replaced by the command log.

In this example, the printer devices plt00h, plt01h, and plt02h are created new and set up. The Xerox 6030/6050 Wide Format printer system has 100 logical printers for each supported data format. Therefore, 100 entries can also be set using the lpadmin command.

You can register the remote printer using the admintool prepared by SunOS. To register the remote printer, select the menu [Printer Manager] > [Edit] > [Add Printer] > [Add Access to Remote Printer]. Specify a logical printer name PLT00H in Printer Name, a host name 6050 WF in Printer Server, and BSD in Print Server OS.
