ETHERNET PRINT SERVER
5. The mkprt script will add the following information to the
/usr/spool/rtel/server_hosts file:
queue_name server service
passwd options
Queue_name is the name of the UNIX print queue; passwd and options
are configurable parameters for the print queue. Server and service are
the EPS and EPS service that will be providing the printer. Note that the
queue and server names are case-sensitive. The example entry below will
configure print queue rprint1 to use service prt_srvc on server eps1 with
no password and with the banner option enabled:
rprint1 eps1
prt_srvc null banner
Service can be either a service name or a string of the form :n, where n is
the number of port to connect to. This second form bypasses the service
name and attempts a direct physical port connect, much like the 2000+n
Telnet connections. This example will set the same options, but will request a
direct connection to serial port 3 on the ETS rather than using a service.
rprint1 eps1 :3
null banner
If you desire password protection on the print service, you can place a
password in the password field; a password of “null” indicates no password is
to be used. The password must be six characters or fewer, because of the
server’s string length limit. The password corresponds to that set with the
ETS’ SET SERVICE PASSWORD command.
The options field specifies which (if any) of the print options are enabled.
The choices are one or more of the following:
• none—No options are enabled.
• banner—A banner page prints before each job. The banner will show the
date, name of the job, and name of the user who requested it.
• binary—The EPS performs No Line Feed processing. This is useful for
non-text files (such as plotter or graphics files).
• expandtabs—Change tabs into space characters. Eight space tabs are
assumed.
• postscript—A ctrl-D (ASCII 4) is used to terminate a print job, rather than
the standard formfeed (ASCII 12).
