MIL-3000FTX Series of FastPort Print Servers 5-6
5.4.3 User Defined Queue Names
The remote printer name is used by UNIX to tell FastPort which port to
send a print job. Some UNIX systems only support eight character names.
If so, user’s can create a remote printer name called user1. To enable this:
1. Telnet into FastPort’s diagnostic port (2002).
2. At the main command prompt, press [N] for network.
3. Press [T] for TCP/IP or press [L] for LPD.
4. Follow the instructions to add a user defined queue name.
5. Configure the remote printer name on the workstation to be the user-
defined queue name just created on FastPort.
5.4.4 LPR Options
The number of copy options with LPR is not supported. To suppress
banner pages for individual print jobs, use LPR with the -h option or turn
off the banner printing via telnet. In BSD UNIX systems, the suppress
header (sh) option in /etc/printcap file does not work.
5.4.5 Manual Installation With LPD on a BSD UNIX System
Note:
The following installs a printer named “beta” that is attached to a FastPort named
“alpha.” When installing LPD, replace “beta” and “alpha” with your printer’s name and
host names, respectively.
1. Copy the following entry into your /etc/printcap file.
beta|FastPort LPD printer:\
:lp=:\
:mx#0:\
:lf=/usr/adm/beta-errs:\
:af=/usr/adm/beta-acct:\
:sd=/usr/spool/beta:\
:rm=alpha:\
:rp=ascii:
Note:
The rp= entry refers to the “remote printer” name. This tells FastPort to do special
formatting for the printer. If there is an ascii printer attached, use ascii. If the printer
is postscript, use ps. If it is a plotter or you are configuring a PC-NFS printer, use raw.
2. Create the spool directory. Change ownership to daemon:
mkdir /usr/spool/beta
chown daemon /usr/spool/beta
chmod 755 /usr/spool/beta
