Configuring Operating System V Queue for ZebraNet Printing

This section describes the configuration of the printing system on the UNIX operating system. For clarity and brevity, the following specific names are used to represent general devices or concepts.

lj4 — The local queue name on the UNIX system to which you want print server print jobs directed.

ZEBRAPRINTER — The host name or IP address of the remote system that is the print server device. For example, to Telnet to any print server and invoke the print server configuration utility, you would enter:

Telnet ZEBRAPRINTER

A host name is not required for the print server — the IP address can be used.

yourqueuename — This is the name of the queue on the ZebraNet and must end with LF1.

Prerequisites

Before you proceed, the following prerequisites must be met:

•The name ZEBRAPRINTER and the IP address assigned to the print server are in the /etc/hosts file on the UNIX system.

•The LPD must be running on the UNIX system.

UNIX Configuration

To configure the UNIX machine so users can spool print jobs to the PCL print queue on the ZebraNet named ZEBRAPRINTER, complete these steps:

1.Log in to the UNIX machine as root.

2.Type:

lpsystem -t bsd ZEBRAPRINTER

3.Type:

lpadmin -p lj4 -s ZEBRAPRINTER!yourqueuename - I any

4.Type: accept lj4

5.Type: enable lj4

6.Try printing by typing the command: lp -d lj4 [filename]
