4-14 Chapter 4
For example, the following defines a LaserJet IIIsi printer named
emlx_txt on the parallel port (port 1, TCP port 2501):
> #emlx_txt | LJIII_1 | LaserJetIIIsi:\
:lp=emlx_txt:\ dummy device name
:emlx_n=IP_address:\ server IP addr.
:emlx_p=2501: TCP port number
The following is an example for a Postscript printer named emlx_ps.
> #emlx_ps | LJIII_1 | LaserJetIIIsi:\
:lp=emlx_ps:\ dummy device name
:emlx_n=IP_address:\ server IP addr.
:emlx_ps=disable:\
:emlx_p=2501: TCP port number
6) Copy the sample Emulex printer interface file, LP_DUMB, to another
file that corresponds to the selected printer name.
For example:
> #cp lp_dumb lp_emlx
7) Edit the lp_emlx file to specify the correct path to the RPRINT program.
Assuming the
RPRINT program is kept in /usr/emlx, enter the second to
the last line of the lp_ emlx file as follows:
(shell commands)
>
#/usr/emlx/rprint `basename $0` $1
8) Using UNIX Bourne shell script programming, edit the lp_emlx file and
modify the banner page that precedes the printed output.
9) Install the printer into the System V spooler system.
Most System V spoolers are not required to be shut down to install a
printer, with the exception of HP-UX.
NOTE: For HP-UX, before shutting down the spooling
system, check to see that there are no print jobs
running (enter lpstat -o). If jobs are running,
wait until they are completed.
