Example Installation For A Typical Bsd Unix System - Tektronix Phaser 360 User Manual

Using PostScript utility files to control printer features from queues
As you set up a spool queue for the printer, you can use the PostScript utility files
provided with your printer's software to control printer features (for example, selecting
upper or lower paper trays, or selecting print quality modes). See your printer's user
documentation for more information on these utility files.
UNIX model files
The printer's CD-ROM contains UNIX model files. These files allow you to access printer
features from the UNIX command line by using the -o printing option. On the printer's
CD-ROM, the file model.tar contains the installer for the model files and model files for
Sun Solaris, Hewlett-Packard, and IBM AIX workstations.

Example installation for a typical BSD UNIX system

The following procedure is an example spooler configuration that will work for many
BSD systems, including SunOS 4.x and 5.x (Solaris 1.x and 2.x) and Digital UNIX.
Modify the /etc/hosts file to identify the printer to the workstation and modify the
/etc/printcap file to describe the printer to the workstation:
1.
Log on to your system as root.
2.
Make a backup copy of the /etc/hosts file.
Note
You need superuser privileges to edit this file.
3.
Edit /etc/hosts and add a line that defines the printer's IP address and its name. The IP
address you enter here for the printer must be the same address you specified as the
printer's IP address when it was configured. The name is the name by which your
workstation identifies the printer. (You will enter this same remote name in your
/etc/printcap file in the next step.)
Example
192.1.1.2 Phaser850
In this example, 192.1.1.2 is the printer's IP address and Phaser850 is the
printer's remote name.
4.
Make a backup copy of the /etc/printcap file.
