ETHERNET PRINT SERVERS HIGH SPEED AND 4-PORT
11. Is this printer PostScript? Type "yes" or "no." Pres <Return>.
12. The script creates a printcap entry for the printer just configured.
The screen displays the entry and asks if you want the script to append
it to your /etc/printcap file. See the next page to perform manual edits.
In your /etc/printcap file, be sure not to change the name of the device
given the Ethernet Print Server in Step 7. You must reference the same
lp: entry you wrote on the lp command line of the printcap file. For
example:
<printer_name> |Ethernet Print Server printer:\
:lp=/dev/dpi/<printer_name>:\
:if=/sur/dpi/infilter:\
:sd=/usr/spool/<printer_name>:
All printcap entries must be prefaced with a tab except for the entry on
the first line.
13. The script creates a spool directory in /usr/spool and starts the daemon
for the newly configured printer. It also displays the path used if you ever
need to restart the daemon. See example below.
/usr/dpi/dpi_print/dev/dpi/<printer_name> DPIfast 10001 &
The example reflects names you provide the script.
14. Installation for the system is done. You are not prompted to configure
any more printers. Type "yes" or "no" and press return. We also suggest
you ping the Ethernet Print Server to test communications.
PostScript Printing
When you configure a printer for the Ethernet Print Server, the TCP/IP
installation script can create an entry in the /etc/printcap file for your
printer.
If you answered no to Step 10, the install script uses an input filter (infilter)
that supplies CR/LF translation to print ASCII files on a PCL printer. If you
answered yes, your printcap file will reference psfilter (described below).
Proprietary and public domain filters are available for broader filtering
capabilities.
An input filter called psfilter provides a simple ASCII-to-PostScript
conversion. Normal PostScript format files will not be affected.
