Installing And Printing On An Aix Risc System/6000 - Black Box LE3840A Manual

-v/dev/dpi/printer_name
enable printer_name
accept printer_name
You can also use other options for the lpadmin command. See your system
documentation for details. Note that the printer name must be the same as
the one you entered during the Ethernet Print Server installation. SCO
supplies the sam program as an alternative to configure the printer.
When using sam, specify everything as if the printer were directly connected
to /dev/dpi/printer_name.
PostScript Printing
The software installed with your SCO system can satisfy most of your printing
needs. SCO supplies ASCII-to-PostScript filters and the system will invoke
them automatically if you define the content type of the printer as PostScript.
The SCO UNIX lp system also supplies interface scripts that produce
PostScript banners. Use the lpfilter command to define new filters and
content types if necessary. The full power and flexibility of the lp print service
is now available to you: printing across the network is completely transparent.

6.11 Installing and Printing on an AIX RISC System/6000

The AIX printing subsystem is driven by the qdaemon program. The
qdaemon uses configuration information stored in the /usr/lpd/qconfig file
to manage queues and route jobs to the proper devices. This information
includes entries for each virtual printer and physical device known to the
system.
An AIX virtual printer is simply a high-level software view of a data stream,
queue, and device that controls how a given job will be processed. A different
virtual printer should be defined for each data stream that a real printer
supports. For example, you would use different virtual printers for PostScript
and PCL jobs, even though they are destined for the same physical printer.
Configuring an Ethernet Print Server printer on an AIX system
approximates configuration of a local printer as closely as possible. The only
difference is that the physical device associated with your Ethernet Print
Server printer must be a named pipe used by the print daemon to route data
to an Ethernet Print Server. The most straightforward way to add a printer to
your system is:
• Run the installation script, providing the printer name and Ethernet Print
Server information as prompted.
• Configure a virtual printer using printer_name as the physical device,
where printer_name is the same name chosen for your printer during
installation.
