4.4
Integrating Shell Scripts into AIX Systems
If the shell scripts are located in the '/etc/printserver' directory, you
must adapt them and integrate them into the spooler.
The following entries are required for the installation:
User input
Name of the adapted shell script
Name of the zero device
Name of the printer (visible to the printer after installation)
All three names may be assigned arbitrarily. You may also use one
name for all three entries. Every name assigned, however, must be
used continuously throughout the installation sequence.
Follow the instructions to carry out the installation:
'Adapting the Shell Script'
'Creating the Printer Device'
'Entering the Printer into the Spooler System'
'Releasing the Printer'
Adapting the Shell Script
The shell script must be adapted to your network. A copy of the shell
script
is
therefore
'/etc/printserver/interfaces' directory. After that, the shell script is
adapted to your system. This basically means that the host name of
the print server, the logical printer, and the FTP path must be edited.
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.
