Print Server Installation Manual
Entering the Printer into the Spooler System
In order to enter the printer into the spooler system, the print
spooler must be stopped. The new printer, the zero device, and the
shell script are then entered, and the print spooler is restarted.
Certain UNIX implementations allow a new printer to be entered
without stopping the print spooler. For more information, please
read the description in your UNIX documentation.
The spooler is administered using the 'lpadmin' command. You may
have to enter the complete path ('/usr/lib/lpadmin,' for example) if
the 'lpadmin' command is used.
• The -F beginning option determines that the print jobs are
restarted whenever an error occurs.
• The -o nobanner option allows you to deactivate the banner
page during print job transmission.
These options are not available in all 'lpadmin' command
implementations. These commands are not available for HP-UX and
BULL OS, for example. Please note that no space is allowed between
a flag and its value.
Proceed as follows:
1. Enter the following command:
Syntax:
lpshut
lpadmin -p <printer name> \
-v /dev/<zero device name> \
-i /etc/printserver/interfaces/<script name>\
-F beginning -o nobanner
/usr/lib/lpsched
Example:
lpadmin -p my_printer \
-v /dev/my_device \
-i /etc/printserver/interfaces/my_script \
-F beginning -o nobanner
/usr/lib/lpsched
