SCO UNIX Use the following procedure to set up a remote printer on the host that sends jobs to a Network Card using lpd. At the prompt, type: mkdev rlp Note You cannot run mkdev rlp twice.
PORT1. printer1:\ :lp=:\ (This field is used for specification of the local printer device name. This field must be left empty.) :rm=lprpriter:\ (Network Card host name recorded in /etc/hosts)
Enable <local printer name> Accept <local printer name> Linux With Red Hat Print System Manager, you can configure the printer on a graphical setup screen. See Configuring the Printer Using the printtool Command for more information. If your system does not have Red Hat Print System Manager installed, you can configure the printer by editing the contents of the /etc/printcap file.
(Specifies spool directory for where the system can spool data and perform other spool control.) This entry sends jobs spooled in /usr/spool/lpd/<printer name> to the printer specified by <printer name> for printing by the Network Card spec- ified by <remote host>. Create the spooling directory.
/usr/MLT_install Note If you already have a Network Card printer at your site and you are now installing another one, delete the files in the installation directory (not /usr/nic). If these files remain, they can prevent the installation of a subsequent print server.
There are a number of options available when executing the script for each type of system. When you run an installation script, it first asks if the printer is a PostScript printer. If you reply (infilter) that performs CR/LF translation for printing of ASCII files on a PCL printer.

* All printcap entries start with a tab except for the first. The script creates a spool directory in for the newly configured printer. At this time, the script displays the path you should use if you ever need to restart the daemon.
This stops all printing. Next, type the following to restart the daemon. /usr/lib/lpd This completes installation. In response to the message about wheth- er you want to install another printer, input Enter Ping the Network Card to test communication. DEC ULTRIX 4.3...
Enter Like all BSD systems, ULTRIX uses the printer. The interface to the installation script is the same for all BSD sys- tems, but the printcap entry is different. HP-UX System Type the following command to run the installation script.

The script automatically starts the daemon for the newly configured printer. At this time, the script displays the path you should use if you ever need to restart the daemon.

To use a printer-specific interface other than the de- fault interface script (named standard), you must have a copy of that printer interface edited and installed in the Next you must edit the printer interface program you created in step 3. Type: cd /usr/nic Use a text editor to open and edit the port1_interface file.

Network Card solution uses a network direct filter named nicfilter. The sys- tem invokes nicfilter directly from the printer interface file. After performing the procedure under Loading the Program, you must configure the printer and make it known to the lp system. Type the following to run the installation script: nicinst...
