Setting Up A Printer - AT&T Unix Owner's Manual

Using Printers
Setting Up a Printer
To connect
a
printer to your system, you must tell the
system the name of the printer you are connecting. You
must also indicate whether the printer is serial or
parallel. Parallel printers connect to the printer
port, labeled Printer; serial printers connect to RS-
232 ports. Check your printer manual to determine
whether your printer is serial or parallel. For
information on specific printers, see Appendix
D
of
this manual.
Note
Setting up a printer temporarily halts
the printing of any other printer
connected to your system. You may want
to check the print queue before setting
up another printer. To check the print
queue, see "Checking the Printer Queue"
in this chapter.
The Printer Setup task can be selected from the
Administration menu in the Office of the install login
or from the Printers object in the Office of every user
login. The following procedures show you how to use
Printer Setup from the Printers object. (To set up a
printer in Administration, see the "Setting Up the UNIX
PC" chapter of the Managing the UNIX PC section in this
manual. )
