Unix Host Configuration
There may be times when you would prefer or need to perform the
manual setup steps for a new printer definition. There may also be
times when you require a less common print solution such as direct
socket capabilities. This section covers these additional setups.
Manual System V Host Setup
This setup involves any Unix operating system using System V
print spooling (e.g., SCO, Solaris
, HP-UX , DG/UX , etc.). This
means an interface file is used for each defined printer and, in the
case of any System V print setup involving an Ethernet Interface,
the RSHD protocol is used to transfer data from the host to the print
server.
To manually configure a new System V printer on a Unix station,
create a dummy device file that acts as a locking mechanism
between contending print jobs.
Syntax:
touch /dev/EthernetInterfacename.portname
where
EthernetInterfacename
is the host or IP name of the print
server and
portname
is one of its four I/O ports.
Example:
touch /dev/spike.prn
