System V (Solaris Version 2), System V Release 4/386 Base
Machine
System V Solaris and SVR4 i386 base machines use a network direct fil-
ter called nicfilter. The system invokes nicfilter directly from the printer in-
terface file. To load the software, create a
/usr/nic
directory and then tar
the TCP/IP software into it.
1
Type the following to navigate to the
/usr/nic
directory.
cd /usr/nic
2
Next, type the following command to run the installation script:
nicsinst
Once the operating system is identified, the script downloads the ap-
plicable files to the
/usr/nic
directory and displays questions to prompt
you for the information it needs.
3
Type:
cd /usr/spool/lp/model/standard/usr/nic/
port1_interface
✎
Note
The default interface is generally sufficient for most PostScript, PCL,
and ASCII files. To use a printer-specific interface other than the de-
fault interface script (named standard), you must have a copy of that
printer interface edited and installed in the /usr/nic directory.
4
Next you must edit the printer interface program you created in step 3.
Type:
cd /usr/nic
5
Use a text editor to open and edit the port1_interface file.
