Manual Lpr/Lpd Host Setup - InfoPrint 6500 Series User Manual

SCO Setup
If it is the system default, then all jobs submitted without a printer name
will go to this printer. If it is not the system default, it must be specified
when printing. Type y or n and press Enter or Return.
The printer is now installed and ready to print.
6. From a shell prompt, use this command to test the printer:
#lp -dprint_name file_name
where print_name is the name of the printer you created and file_name is the
name of an appropriate file to test print.
Troubleshooting
This installation procedure assumes that the ethernet is configured with the
correct IP address, subnet mask and gateway (if required). In addition, the
administrator can ping and telnet to the ethernet from the server console.
NOTE: If this is not the case, use the printer front panel or the IPAssign utility

Manual LPR/LPD Host Setup

The ethernet also supports Unix operating systems which follow a BSD print
system (e.g., SunOS 4.1.x). This means a printcap file is used to define all
printers available on the host, and interface scripts are not commonly used.
Instead, LPR/LPD printers are defined.
To manually configure an LPR/LPD printer on a BSD Unix system:
1. Define an entry for this new printer within the printcap file, /etc/printcap.
Syntax:
printername:
:sh:pw#80:mx#0:\
:rm=Ethernetname:\
:rp=Ethernetdestination:\
:lp=:\
:sd=/usr/spool/lpd/printername:\
:lf=/usr/spool/lpd/printername/log:\
:af=/usr/spool/lpd/printername/acct:
where printername is any name you would like to give to this
new printer, Ethernetname is the host or IP name of the print server,
and Ethernetdestination is one of the pre-defined destinations/
queues on the device.
Example:
6500-V:
:sh:pw#80:mx#0:\
:rm=spike:\
:rp=d1prn:\
:lp=:\
:sd=/usr/spool/lpd/ 6500-V:\
:lf=/usr/spool/lpd/ 6500-V/log:\
:af=/usr/spool/lpd/ 6500-V/acct:
