Procedure
4.6.2.3. Entering the Printer into the Spooler System
Procedure
Print Server Installation Manual
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
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. Please read the description in
your UNIX user manual if necessary.
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>\
