Setting Up AIX 4.x
1. Ensure the 6500-v AIX driver/colon files are installed on the
AIX machine. Syntax:
lsdev -P -c printer -F “type subclass description”
| sort -u | grep 6500-v
If “ibm6500-v” does not appear on the list, the proper driver files
are not installed. Obtain the driver files and follow the
instructions included with them to install the files on your
machine.
