Installing And Printing On An Aix Risc System/6000 - Hitachi Koki DDC 35n User Manual

The SCO UNIX lp system uses the lpadmin maintenance command
to configure a printer (there is no /etc/printcap file). The specific
commands to do this are:
#lpadmin -p <printer_name> -v /dev/nic/
<printer_name>
Note
• Your host may require you to specify the model by using the -i com-
mand.
#enable <printer_name>
#accept <printer_name>
You can also use other options for the lpadmin command. See your
system documentation for details. Note that the printer name must
be the same as the one you entered during NIC installation. SCO
supplies the sam program as an alternative to configure the printer.
When using , specify everything as if the printer were directly
sam
connected to /dev/nic/<printer_name>.
The software installed with your SCO system can satisfy most of
your printing needs. SCO supplies ASCII-to-PostScript filters and
the system will invoke them automatically if you define the content
type of the printer as PostScript. The SCO UNIX lp system also sup-
plies interface scripts that produce PostScript banners. Use the lpfil-
ter command to define new filters and content types if necessary.
The full power and flexibility of the lp print service is now apparent.
Your printing across the network is completely transparent.
6.2.3.9 Installing and Printing on an AIX RISC
System/6000
The AIX printing subsystem is driven by the qdaemon program. The
qdaemon uses configuration information stored in the /usr/lpd/qcon-
fig file to manage queues and route jobs to the proper devices. This
information includes entries for each virtual printer and physical
device known to the system.
