5. List the files you loaded by entering the command
ls
6. Run the installation script by entering the command
./install.sh
7. Respond to the script's prompts.
On BSD UNIX systems the installation script creates an entry in
the /etc/printcap file for the printer you specified. The script also
creates required spool directories and log files. Installing more
than one printer.
The installation script installs one printer at a time. To install more
than one printer, execute the script again.
You can create several logical printers with different
characteristics which point to the same physical printer in this
manner.
For example, to install another printer called 8650 as an alias for
DS8650PS in the /etc/hosts file on a BSD UNIX system, you
would enter:
192.185.2.3 DS8650PS 8650
The installation procedure varies for System V UNIX systems.
Manual Installation
/etc/hosts File
Add the host printer name and the IP address to the host
database--usually the
/etc/hosts
file. Do this for every host that
spools directly to the printer.
You must be logged in as root to edit the
/etc/hosts
file.
To add a printer named 8650 with an IP address 192.185.2.3, you
would add the line below to the
/etc/hosts
file:
192.185.2.3 8650
If you are using NIS ® (Yellow Pages®), edit the YP master hosts
database. After editing the database, remember to rebuild it by
changing to the YP directory (/var/yp) and typing make.
