B-4
3.3 filter no. Description
4 This filter enables the HP Tagged Binary Communications Protocol to allow
AppleTalk binary jobs to be printed via the P1 port.
The service TEXT_pp is predefined with the text filter, while the service XCD_xxxxxx_ pp_AT has the
AppleTalk filter enabled. To use a filter with other services, use the following command:
SET SERVICE name FILTER fltrno ENABLED
where name is the name of the service and fltrno is the number of the filter (e.g., 1 for the text fil-
ter).
3.4 Changing the Service Name
The default service names are rather long and difficult to remember. If you want to change a ser-
vice name to something more meaningful, execute the following command from the print server
remote console:
SET SERVICE oldname NAME newname
4. USING SERVICE NAMES WITH LAT, TCP/IP, OR NETWARE
To use a service in LAT, specify the /SERVICE option instead of the /PORT option when defining
the LATCP port. For example:
LATCP> CREATE PORT LTA555
LATCP> SET PORT LTA555/NODE=XCD_0009C3-
/SERVICE=BINARY_P1
To use services from TCP/IP, specify the service name as the remote printer or "rp" parameter in
the printcap file or the printer setup program (e.g., SAM or SMIT). Remember that if you want to
print text files to a UNIX service, you should enable the TEXT filter (filter number 1).
To use a service with NetWare, use PCONSOLE to specify the default NetWare service name as
one of the print servers for the queue (this service is XCD_xxxxxx_P1 by default, where "xxxxxx" is
the last six digits of the Ethernet address). If you want to use a different service, you must also
specify this service as one of the print servers for the print queue.
5. USING THE CHARACTER SUBSTITUTION FILTER
The character substitution filter (filter 1) allows a user to substitute any text string for any other
text string (strings may be up to 64 characters, and the two strings may have different lengths).
To use this filter:
