When the printer server is booted, the host receives the RARP request from
the printer server. It then sends the IP address in the /etc/hosts file to the
printer server and stores it in the printer server temporary memory.
Configure the Print Queue
The printer server provides remote printing via the Emulex RPRINT utility
on all systems, and
LPD on some platforms. ENSTALL automatically
installs
RPRINT and optionally supports LPD.
RPRINT is a UNIX program that may be run from a print spooler or invoked
as a stand-alone module. The program takes data from standard input,
connects to a server, and transmits the data. Various features and options
make
RPRINT well-suited to most printing applications. These include:
• Compatibility with BSD and System V hosts.
RPRINT uses either the
BSD sockets library or the System V Transport Level Interface (TLI).
• Automatically generated log files for ease in troubleshooting.
• Binary or text data selection can be made from the command line or
through an entry in the printcap file.
• Printer filters that may be enabled before the data is sent to the printer
server.
The method for installing and configuring RPRINT is different for BSD and
System V hosts. Choose the appropriate procedure for your system.
Configure for BSD Hosts
To configure a BSD host with RPRINT:
1) Copy the Emulex utility
RPRINT.C to a host system.
This file is found on the UNIX utilities diskette.
2) Go to the subdirectory where RPRINT is loaded.
For example,
> #/usr/emlx
