3. Create the spool directory. Change it ownership to daemon
mkdir /usr/spool/beta
chown daemon /usr/spool/beta
chgrp daemon /usr/spool/beta
chmod 755 /usr/spool/beta
4. Create log/accounting files: Change ownership to daemon:
touch /usr/adm/beta-errs
touch /usr/adm/beta-acct
chown daemon /usr/adm/beta-errs
chmod 644 /usr/adm/beta-errs
chown daemon /usr/adm/beta-acct
chmod 644 /usr/adm/beta-acct
5. Create a directory called /usr/local/Digi and place the fpfilter
program there. (Or change the path of the input filter “:if=” to point to
any directory containing fpfilter.)Make sure that the directory
containing fpfilter and fpfilter itself have at least access rights of 755.
mkdir /usr/local/Digi
chmod 755 /usr/local
cp fp* /usr/local/Digi
chmod 755 /usr/local/Digi/fp*
6. Create an options file called .fpconfig in the spool directory
(specified by “:sd=”). This file should be at least 644 and owned by
daemon.
For a parallel ascii text printer, a sample .fpconfig file would contain:
parallel
hostname alpha
mapcrlf
formfeed
For a postscript printer on the serial port:
serial
hostname alpha
ctrld
For a serial plotter:
serial
hostname alpha
