5.5.5.1Printing to FastPort
After installing both hardware and software, FastPort is ready to print.
Commonly used BSD print commands include:
Note:
* These parameters require root access.
5.5.5.2Customizing BSD Installation
Create the .fpconfig file in the spool directory (i.e.,:sd= entry in
printcap), since this is where daemon executes fpfilter. The .fpconfig file
should be owned by the daemon.
5.5.5.2.1Banner Pages and Accounting Information
To print a banner page, the install script must be told to print a banner. It
adds the command bannerfirst to the .fpconfig file. To configure an
existing printer to send a banner, remove the existing printer and run the
installation script again.
Note:
The banner-generating programs are supplied “as is.”
To print accounting info., add the line acctg to the .fpconfig file. This
causes accounting information to be written to the file specified
by:af=<
filename
> in the printcap entry.
