6.9 Installing and Printing on a System V (Solaris Ver. 2)/System V Rel. 4
386-based Machine
Installation and setup is exactly the same for System V Solaris and SVR4 i386-
based machines. Our solution uses a network direct filter called dpifilter.
The system invokes dpifilter directly from the printer interface file.
After completing steps 1-5 in Section 6.4, you must still configure the
printer and make it known to the lp system. Follow the steps below.
6. Select your system. Choose one from these options:
1) AT&T/SVR4; 386
2) SCO UNIX System V
3) None of the above
Type 1, 2, or 3 and press <Return>.
7. You have now installed TCP/IP on the Ethernet Print Server. Copy your
interface file (/usr/dpi is a good place to keep your copy).
8. You must edit the printer interface program this printer uses to redirect
output to the Ethernet Print Server. You can then configure your printer
with using lpadmin.
In most cases, you will use the default interface script named "standard"
(usually found in the /usr/spool/lp/admins/lp/
model directory). Sometimes you may wish to use an interface tuned to a
specific printer. You must have a copy of the interface file for the port
you want to initialize. For example:
cp/usr/spool/lp/model/standard /usr/dpi/port1_interface
Most Version 2 Solaris machines have a shell variable called FILTER that
you can change to invoke dpifilter. A typical example is shown next.
FILTER
FILTER="/usr/dpi/infilter|/usr/dpi/dpifilter\
netprint_name netprint_port ${nobanner}\
${user_name}${request_id}
${files}"
You must specify the netprint_name and netprint_port for dpifilter to
connect to the Ethernet Print Server unit. The name must be the same one
that you entered in /etc/hosts for this Ethernet Print Server. If you connect
your printer to port one, netprint_port must be 10001.
