Print Server Installation Manual
With print servers with several physical printer ports, the logical
printer is used to address the port. For more information, please read
the section 'Logical Printers' in the user manual.
Proceed as follows:
1. Copy the '/etc/printserver/bsd.sh' file into the
'/etc/printserver/interfaces' subdirectory and assign the copy an
arbitrary name:
Syntax:
cd /etc/printserver
cp bsd.sh interfaces/<shell script name>
Example:
cd /etc/printserver
cp bsd.sh interfaces/my_script
2. Change to the '/etc/printserver/interfaces' subdirectory.
3. Change the access rights of the created file:
Syntax: chmod 755 <shell script name>
Example: chmod 755 my_script
4. Change the default values of the HOST, PORTS, and FTP
variables in the new shell script.
Creating the Printer Device
The print spooler requires a printer device. Due to the fact that the
print server does not need a physical device, a link is made to a zero
device.
Proceed as follows:
1. Enter the following command:
Syntax:
ln -f /dev/null /dev/<zero device name>
Example:
ln -f /dev/null /dev/my_device
