CONFIGURING THE M208 FOR TCP/IP: Host Configuration 59
use /dev/ttypa as the device interface for any port on the M208. When the program
creates the spooling directory and entry in /etc/printcap file, set the lp= field to the
devicefile argument from npd.
For a PostScript printer named ps attached to com1 on the M208 named spike:
ps|PostScript|PostScript on spike’s com1 port:\
:lp=/dev/spike.com1:\
:sd=/usr/spool/lpd/spike/com1:\
:lf=/usr/adm/printers/ps-log:\
:af=/usr/adm/printers/ps-acct:\
:br#19200:rw:fc#0000374:fs#0000003:\
:xc#0:xs#0040040:mx#0:sf:sb:\
:if=/usr/local/lib/ts/psif:\
:of=/usr/local/lib/ts/psof:\
:gf=/usr/local/lib/ts/psgf:\
:nf=/usr/local/lib/ts/psnf:\
:tf=/usr/local/lib/ts/pstf:\
:rf=/usr/local/lib/ts/psrf:\
:vf=/usr/local/lib/ts/psvf:\
:cf=/usr/local/lib/ts/pscf:\
:df=/usr/local/lib/ts/psdf:
Using :sh:\ in this entry will suppress headers and also prevent TranScript from print-
ing out banner pages if they are set in the .options file.
AIX
IBM has a unique print spooler system that uses the qdaemon program. Use the fol-
lowing steps to interface with the M208 using rsh:
These steps and associated examples refer to a setup with a queue named queue2, a
queue device named lp0, printing to the destination d1prn on the M208 named spike.
1 Create a device. Enter:
smit pdp
2 Select Printer/Plotter and then Add a Printer/Plotter. Follow the prompts until
SMIT executes the “mkdev” command to create this device.
Select “parallel” as the interface even if you have a printer attached to the M208’s
serial port.
