The script automatically starts the daemon for the newly config-
ured printer. At this time, the script displays the path you should
use if you ever need to restart the daemon.
/usr/nic/lpr_print /dev/nic/ <printer name>

The above example reflects the name supplied to the script earlier.
After the installation script is complete, you must configure the printer
and make it known to the lp system. The SCO UNIX lp system uses the
lpadmin command used to configure a printer. There is no
file. The following are the commands used for printer
/etc/printcap
configuration.
lpadmin -p <printer name> -v /dev/nic/
<printer name>
Note
• Your host may require you to use the
enable <printer name>
accept <printer name>
You can use other options in the lpadmin command. See your system
documentation for full details.
Note
The printer name must be the same as the one you specified dur-
•
ing Network Card installation. SCO also provides the
gram, which can be used to configure the printer.
If you use sam, make all specifications just as if the printer were
connected directly to /dev/lprinter/<printer name>.
